Something Worth SharingThe Unmagic Magic As the new year takes hold, so too does the amount of TikTok and Instagram “fitness” videos and adverts. You’ll have seen it: “New Year, New You!”. When I was talking to my personal trainer about this he said that it will soon drop off when people lose the motivation - that is, until Spring-time and people see their summer vacations approaching along with a need to be ‘beach-ready’. That’s the next peak for gym membership! Every year the cycle is the same. Well-meaning resolutions are in place, but when the results aren’t immediate, people drift off and revert to old behaviours. So, is there a magic spell that would change this? Yes! Indeed, there is magic that can transform our bodies, our craft, our work our fitness, our lives…BUT it’s really quite unmagical magic. It’s called: doing the work consistently despite how dull and boring it is. In Mel Robbin’s language, this is called ‘Doing The Reps’. There is no way round this - if you truly want to achieve your goals, whatever they may be, you have to keep showing up and doing the work. Just as any elite athlete, successful businessperson, parent with well-balanced and behaved children, world class author or artist…they all found the magic through doing the unmagicness of work and reps.
