"Giving a sh*t about what we put in our mouth because of how it makes us look and feel"

I mentioned yesterday that I like the phrase "Mental health needs emotional support".

I also like the title to this blog.

Because when we look at what we're eating as;

- Dieting

- Restriction

- Cutting out

- Going without

- Boring

It can be hard going.

A shift to "just giving a sh*t about what we put in our mouth because of how it makes us look and feel" is another game changer.

It doesn't mean we need to eat like a nutritionist or athlete all the time (or at all).

But that shift away from seeing it as something we don't really want to do.......

From 'rewarding' ourselves and "I deserve it".......

To more in the way of fuelling ourselves properly to feel and look better........

Whilst still being a source of pleasure..........

Is something that's usually much easier to stay on board with!

Much love,

Jon 'Super Hero In Training' Hall

P.S. Staying on board with things for long enough to get the results they desire is our average member's number one struggle. Before they start with us. Not after though. Try that out for yourself if you struggle in maintain motivation ---> comment below or send me a DM to find out more

Mental health requires physical support

Note: Apologies, I've just realised the blogs haven't been going out properly to all places for the last few days, so apologies if you've seen this one before. Worth a re-read thought I'm sure!

In nearly 24 years working in the Fitness Industry, I've noticed a lot of changes.

One is the things people will talk to me about when they first start working with me.

Now I'm sure part of that is that, as I've got older, people feel I'm more likely to listen and understand and that people have often read an amount of these blogs (and / or watched my videos) before I get into an actual conversation with them.

But a massive part is reflected by what we all, as a society, are talking about and feel more comfortable discussing.

Such as mental health.

I may be wrong, but I don't feel I remember anyone telling me twenty odd years ago that they'd joined the gym I worked in, or wanted 1:1 with me, in order to benefit their mental health.

I'm sure many did.

It just wasn't talked about so much.

So, with that in mind, I'm going to discuss in the next few blogs, seven different considerations with regards to our mental health that you might benefit from hearing.

Today and the next six days.

To give it all a bit of time to 'sink in' rather than just ramming it all into one massive blog.

Before I start, I'd like to make it crystal clear that I appreciate that mental health can be a very complicated thing.

That there can be, and often is, a genetics / brain chemistry element.

And that, as I've mentioned many times, I know all of this is "easier said than done".

But that doesn't also mean that some combination of these considerations probably wouldn't be beneficial in a pretty high proportion of situations.

And I'll start with the one you might expect from a FirPro.

Exercise.

I don't know if I've ever encountered someone who wasn't exercising and who's mood and mental health wasn't where they'd like it to be..........

Who started exercising regularly........

And didn't feel at least a reasonable amount better.

A phrase I love is the title to this blog.

"Mental health needs physical support"

And a shift from seeing exercise as "punishment for what we've eaten" or "something we have to do so we look better on a beach in six months" to..........

"Something that helps me feel better and be in a better mood right now".........

Can be a game changer!

Much love,

Jon 'It'sa timea toa changea thea gamea' Hall

P.S. Really want to change the game in 2026 (and have realised that doing the same old, same old this January will lead to the same old results)? That'll happen on our programme ---> comment below or send me a DM to find out more.

Expectations are 'premeditated resentments'

I've covered many times in recent months about how our expectations affect our mood.

Expecting behaviour from others that we don't always display ourselves...........

That we maybe haven't even verbalized to them..........

Let alone got their agreement to........

Is inviting frustration (and associated moods).

It's important to differentiate here between agreements and expectations.

Expectations are our thing.

Changing them isn't a "lowering of standards" as we might like to tell ourselves.

It's more an acceptance that, like we wouldn't like other people to control our behaviour, we can't control theirs.

Getting agreement from and working together with other people in order to gain a mutually beneficial situation is one thing.

But expectations are just premeditated resentments.

And dropping (or, at least, challenging) those premeditated resentments can be massively beneficial to our mood and mental health (as can commenting below or sending me a DM to find out more).

Much love,

Jon 'Manslaughter' Hall

Social media isn't "a cesspool of negativity"

Another very common conversation I have with people is about how social media makes them feel.

About how it makes them feel bad about themselves and their lives.

Or it annoys them.

Maybe it's "a cesspool of negativity"?

A massive realisation that we can make is that social media just feeds us more of what it thinks we like.

Based on our interactions with it.

The more time we spend reading certain things, commenting on an interacting with them.......

The more of that kind of stuff it will feed us.

My social media feed is overwhelmingly positive.

Because I interact with friends and people that I like.

It shows me adverts that interest me.

If there's something that I'm less keen on, I scroll past or maybe tap the three dots in the corner and get it hidden.

Ultimately, social media is a tool.

It's up to us how we use it and the impact that then has on how we feel.

Much love,

Jon 'Tool' Hall

P.S. You know the score - want actual life changing results rather than just renting access to exercise equipment in a big building? Then you'll get that by commenting below or sending me a DM to find out more.
