Stop saying “I Want To Be Healthy”

“I Want to Be Healthy” Is Why You’re Still Stuck

Everyone says they want to be healthy. Nobody changes.

That’s not a coincidence.

“Healthy” is a hiding place  a vague enough goal that you never have to get honest about what’s actually wrong. You know what honest sounds like? “I’m sick of wearing yoga pants because they hide my stomach.” That’s real. That’s something you can actually move toward.

In this episode, we break down why your language is keeping you stuck, and what it actually takes to get uncomfortable enough to change.

Yo yo yo guys, what's going on? It's your boy GB, man. I appreciate you guys for rocking with me. Another week on Becoming the Vision, where we talk about becoming the person that you need to be in order to have the life that you so desire. Um, as always, man, thank you, thank you, thank you so much for rocking with me. Um, dude, so what I want to talk about today is if you are struggling with your health and your fitness, you need to quit saying, I just want to be healthy. Because you saying that has not made any type of change in your life for the five past five, ten, fifteen years. Some of you listening lists have type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, you're obese. You have a lot of shit that's going on. And you saying you just want to be healthy has never moved the needle consistently enough for you. Sure, you'll start and then you'll fall back off and you'll try to pick it back up again, and you you keep doing the same cycle. The thing that you have to do is you have to ultimately understand what is it, what is the actual fucking problem that you're experiencing. The way that you get past this is saying, you know what? I wear yoga pants because it's the only thing that hides my belly when I go out. I have to wear my husband's clothes because they're bigger and they're baggier. I don't like going outside, I don't like going anywhere because I don't look how I did prior to me having kids. I have low self-confidence, I'm always self-conscious when I'm out, and I don't like the way I look and I feel. When you say that, it will generate enough pain for you to understand why you want to move. And then you go, okay, well, I do want to wear that two-piece bikini. I want to feel sexy, like I did before I have kids, had kids. I want my husband to desire me again. I want to feel fucking amazing and walk around with confidence and walk into any room that I want and feel better. Doesn't that sound a whole lot better than I just want to be healthy? You have to understand why you're pursuing the thing, and it's the same thing for my guys, right? Like, guys, if if you're struggling with something and you look at yourself and you're like, you know what? It actually is embarrassing that my wife would actually play, rather play on her phone at night than have sex with me. Because I'm overweight, I I'm not attractive anymore, I don't have the confidence, I don't want to go anywhere, I'm always angry because I'm always fatigued, I'm tired, I'm out of energy throughout the day. Like my kids don't really listen to me, they'll listen to me because I'm dad. But especially if I have kids that are athletic age where they're in school and they're playing sports and I'm trying to tell them to work hard and they gotta want it, they're listening to me because I'm dad. But they don't really respect me because I can't do anything that they physically can right now. And it bothers me. I don't want to be that guy. I used to be an athlete, I used to be athlete, I used to be strong, I used to be athletic, I used to have confidence, I used to have energy, I used to have all of this stuff, and now I don't. Those are the things that you have to tell yourself, guys. If you don't want to tell yourself that, and you know, because I know the world is all about self-love, and I'm not telling you to go off and fucking hate yourself. I'm not saying that. But I am saying that at some point, what you're saying has to change. Because if you're not raw enough with yourself, you're not going to bring up the emotions that it actually takes to make a change. Like you have to understand what it is that you're what are you pursuing? So when people say they want to make a lot of money, you don't necessarily want to make a lot of money. You want to make money to where you never have to worry about it again. You want to make enough money to where you can go on multiple vacations with your family and you don't have to stress about who's eating what and how many times you have to stop for gas. And like that's why you want to make more money. My females, when you want to buy a Louis Vuitton purse, you're not fucking buying it because you want something to store something in. If that were the case, like you would go to fucking Walmart and grab something. Like you're buying the purse because it gives you a certain amount of status, it makes you fucking feel great. That's why you buy the purse. Like a lot of you have to get in in touch and understand, like, why are you trying to do the thing that you're doing? Because this is the number one question. Like, if you ever reach out to me, which I hope you do, if you're struggling with this, guys, I know that what we do changes thousands of lives, and it can also change yours if you're focused enough and understand, like, why do you want to change? Because we're gonna challenge you on that. The number one reason you see so many testimonials in our program, guys, is because we help people understand and uncover like what are you actually going after? You don't want to just lose 20 pounds, like that shit doesn't matter. You don't want to lose 15 pounds. Why do you want to lose the weight? It is understanding how you feel about yourself right now. Are you confident? Are you not confident? And then this is the other thing, guys. Like, y'all have got to quit saying that you have confidence when you don't, right? Like, you you try to mask it. Well, I have confidence, I don't struggle in the confidence. Cool, then why are you bothering to change in the first place? It's a question that I ask a lot of people when they say no, I have confidence, I'm good. Okay, cool, then what's the why do you want to change? Well, I just want to lose weight. Yeah, but why? If you have confidence and you have the energy that you need, why are you fucking bothering to change? What is the point? What are we doing here?

And if you don't want to answer those questions, not necessarily to me, but to answer them to yourself, guys, I promise you will always stay stuck. I have coached thousands of people, and I've had thousands, tens of thousands of conversations with people that want to change their life. And the number one factor that helps people change is when they are raw with themselves, when they can just be brutally honest. On a lot of my consoles, I tell people, hey man, just be raw. Like, tell me what's actually going on because like I'm not gonna convince you of it. I can't tell you that you have low self-confidence, I can't tell you that you're embarrassed because your son is walking you up and down the basketball court because you can't breathe. I can't tell you to like you should be embarrassed that you know you're not sexy enough or you don't feel sexy enough for your husband anymore. Like you feel frumpy and you're tired of feeling like this and you're not the woman that you used to be. You have to tell yourself that. And then so my challenge to you guys is that if you have struggled for any amount of time with your health journey, quit saying I just want to be healthy. Because if that were the thing, everybody wants to fucking be healthy. Like, if I if I made a poll, I guarantee you nobody's gonna say, Yeah, I want to be unhealthy. Like, nobody wants to be unhealthy, everybody wants to be healthy, but it has not given you enough drive, desire, or motivation to actually change. But if you're raw with yourself and just like be honest with what you how you feel and where you'd rather be instead, and how much better your life is going to get once you obtain that look, that feel, I promise you, you'll be more quote motivated to get there. Hopefully this helped, guys. If you were in the if you were somewhere, guys, and you're like, oh my god, I I really need some help. Like, you don't have to say, Oh my god, like it's not like a sensitive thing. It's like, man, like I really feel like G can actually help me, like him and his team can actually get me to where I'm trying to go. Guys, you can reach out to us on social media, G be the trainer, transcend performance. Um, we have a ton of ads running right now, if you're especially if you're local in the clean area, we'd love to help you guys, but also understand that prior to getting on any type of consultation with us, understand why you're going after what you're going after. Because if you don't know, there's no way that we can actually help you. But if you do know and you're sick of being where you are, and you you know that you're capable of better, you're capable of being stronger, more athletic, more confidence, more energy to show it better as a husband, as a father, as a mother, as a brother, like all of this stuff. Like if you really believe that you're capable of that and you just need some guidance, some accountability, and the actual direction on where to go, reach out to us, guys. We'd love to help you. Other than that, guys, I hope you guys have an awesome fucking week. And uh keep crushing, man. Love you guys. Bye bye.
