What IS vs What IF = Action vs Inaction

by John Barban

Taking action to change your body (or any part of your life) requires you to take action today.

The only way to consistently take action and build momentum is to think about what is happening here and now; that means thinking about WHAT IS and not worrying about WHAT IF.

What IS thinking places your attention on the present moment and what needs to happen now to bring you closer to your goals.

What IF thinking places your attention on a fabrication of a potential future that doesn’t even exist and may never exists…this is wasted effort.

If you want something to change then you have to start today, and that means thinking about what IS happening.

The more ‘what if’ thinking you do the more easily you will fall for more diet and fitness scams. All this thinking does is empty your wallet and drain your confidence.

In this weeks audio lesson we’ll discuss the difference between ‘what is’ thinking and ‘what if’ thinking and how the diet and fitness industry uses ‘what if’ thinking scenarios to scare you into purchasing useless products to help you avoid a multitude of ‘what if’ scenarios that will never happen.

The challenge is that the education system propagates the “What IF” thinking. We are thought to cover all bases. The “What Is” thinking is lost along the way. Thanks for the reminder. We need to get our minds back to the task at hand.
