TIME TO GET BACK IN THE FUCKING GYM

Since DOGMAN I have been so inconsistent with working out. I guess it makes sense. During the making of the film was proabably the most busy I had ever been in my life. I don't beat myself up at all only because I understand that what I was doing was a lot! But now the bulk of the work is done it's time lock back the fuck in.
I want to focus more on my overall health and fitness. When I eat better, I feel better. When I sleep better I feel better. When I work out, I feel better. I read once that movement, sleep and diet are the 3 pillars of physical health and have an incredible impact on your mental too. I don't think I have ever conquered all three of these pillas simultaneously before. Well, first time for everything. I feel pretty optimistic about myself as of recent. I genuinely believe that I can do anything. All it takes is a day. One day of eating right, going to the gym and getting good quality sleep, then that's it. I only need to do it again the following day and follow the pattern.
I want to treat myself like an athlete. I want to hold myself to a higher standard and build discipline in other areas of my life aside from work. Funny enough I actually love working out too. I think the inconsistency has more to do with things like waking up late in the day and being unorganised than it has with 'struggling' to go the gym itself. But now it's time to prioritise my fitness and really make that shift. Again, it's about matching the image of the version I see myself as 10 years from now. I want to be the best film maker in the world but I can't be that unless the other priorities in my life are covered. It's all connected.
When I work out, eat and sleep right I walk differently, talk differently. I stand up taller, I am more confident in myself and project that energy outwards with everyone I meet. I am more focused and more driven, I am more alert, I am lighter on my feet, I'm a better thinker. There are genuinly endless benifits to commiting to a life of an athlete and this is a life that I am determined to commit to. Next time you see me I'm going to be walking a lot taller. I promise you.
Well, Time to get to work.
Oh, Also I haven't been on my phone all morning, feel a lot less foggy. Yesterday I even went out and just left my phone at home. Felt so good. It's crazy, as I was walking I would reach for my phone out of habit only to find out that It wasn't in my pocket lol. The way addiction works is mad. But I have made a decision to overcome it. Things are looking good. And wow... half way throught the year. What a time to be alive! It's now or never.
