In life we make progress, we grow, our careers develop, our relationships evolve, our families change. And then sometimes we hit a bit of a wall, progress seems to slow to a halt and results aren’t coming as fast as they were before. It can even feel like going backwards.
That is fairly average, it’s fairly normal. It’s also frustrating and can lead to all kinds of unwanted feelings. It’s not the end of the world. It’s a plateau.
It happens because we are adaptive, our bodies and minds adapt because they are conditioned to do the least amount of work for the most return to save energy for when we really need it. Once we are used to the expectations and demands, there’s a slow down. You could call it a comfort zone but sometimes it’s just being comfortably miserable.
It’s a plateau. It’s not forever, you aren’t broken. But… you don’t have to live that way. You don’t have to lower your expectations. You can make amazing progress, see fantastic growth, feel like you’re making big strides. You don’t have to be fairly average! What you do have to do is change the regime. Take back control of your mind, body and life. Set your own agenda, decide what you want and get it.
Regime Change is a concept, the idea that when you hit a plateau, the wall, you need to change the regime – change your habits, change who’s in the driver’s seat. It’s a physical and mental change, I don’t believe you can have one without the other and expect results to stick so be prepared to get physically and emotionally stronger and fitter. Regime Change challenges you, pushes you further, shakes things up and gets you out of the plateau and back into growth. I can’t promise you that it will be easy, it won’t be. It will be exciting, exhilarating, sometimes exhausting and a bit uncomfortable ... and I can promise you that it will change your life.
