"Too busy for what?"

I talk a lot about people feeling that they're "too busy".

To eat better and / or exercise.

And, as I always say, I get it.

I get that we're busy.

Almost everyone I speak to feels busy.

But a big part of what I do is helping them ask better questions.

Not the same questions that will lead them to the same answers and the same results as before.

A useful question is this;

"Too busy for what?"

When we say that we're "too busy".......

What are we "too busy" for?

And the usual response I get to that is vague at best.

"This"

"All of it"

"I've just got too much on"

Not really answering the question, is it?

What, specifically, are we "too busy" for?

Put some numbers on it.

How many minutes? How many hours?

"I'm too busy to fit in four 1 hour workouts down at the gym every single week"

"I'm too busy to spend 30 minutes cooking each evening meal from scratch"

Not "I'm too busy to exercise" or "too busy to eat healthy".

Specifics.

Numbers.

Because once we get specific on what we consider ourselves to be "too busy" for is........

We can identify what we're not "too busy" for.

If we are too busy to do several 1 hour workouts, could we do two 45 minute ones?

Or three ten minute ones (let's not pretend that this isn't worth doing when all the research says otherwise).

If we are "too busy" to spend an extra 30 minutes on every meal, are we "too busy" to make food choices that take no more time than our current ones, but that contribute less calories?

We wouldn’t get away with vague answers at work.

So why do it in our personal life?

What are we "too busy" for?

And what are we not "too busy" for?

Much love,

"I feel seen"

I've mentioned that I've known people to say they're "too busy" to exercise and then comment online about the hundreds of hours of TV that they've watched.

I had a few replies along the lines of the subject to this blog.

"I feel seen".

I hear this a lot.

Sometimes a bit stronger with "Was that aimed at me?"

They’re not aimed at anyone specifically.

But many are inspired by actual events and most of them I've encountered many times over the years.

If something makes you feel 'seen', there’s usually something there.

Again, there's no right or wrong.

People can choose to do whatever they wish with their time, money and life in general.

I would never dream of saying otherwise.

But knowing that, more often than we might tell ourselves, there is a choice there.........

Is powerful.

And can often be the first step in us making a different combination of choices that can give us the best of both.

We can still have all the other stuff that we enjoy.........

But also a body, energy levels and mood that we're happy with.

Those things not having to be mutually exclusive (and you'll get them, with a literal money back guarantee, so comment below or send me a DM to find out more)

Much love,

Jon 'on TikTok' Hall

Starting something new can feel daunting, can’t it? Alasdair just wrapped up his first 5 sessions with us, and it's a reminder of how important those initial steps are.

"Every journey begins with a single step."

This is more common than people think—many of us face that initial uncertainty, but taking action is what counts.

It’s not always about weight loss.
Sometimes it’s about just feeling okay in yourself again.

Before starting, David was anxious about meeting new people.

Social situations weren’t his thing.
The idea of walking into a gym full of strangers? Even worse.

So like a lot of people
 he could’ve easily talked himself out of it.

But he didn’t.

And what he found wasn’t what he expected.

From day one, he felt welcome.
No pressure. No judgement. Just people who made it easier to keep showing up.

Now he’s just hit 200 sessions — the longest he’s ever stuck to anything like this.

And the biggest change?

“My mental health has definitely got better
 I feel way more positive in life.”

That’s the part most people overlook.

It’s not just about getting fitter (although he’s done that too).
It’s about how you feel day to day.

If the idea of starting feels uncomfortable, you’re probably exactly the kind of person this helps most.

Give yourself 1–3 months. See what happens.

"I'm too busy to become less busy"

When people tell me they’re ‘too busy’, I send them a time log to fill in.

With some short videos explaining how to then make some tactical adjustments.

I've recommended that link (www.myrise.co.uk/time) to many people over the years.

Some use it.

100% of those that do find it beneficial.

100%.

Every.

Single.

One.

Many ignore it.

The only real reason not to is if you’re genuinely happy with how your time is going.

Which, in my experience, isn’t many people.

If they ever give me a reason why, they say they've been "too busy".

"Too busy to become less busy".

Sounds ridiculous when you say it out loud.

Much love,

RISE daily Session feedback - 18th April

Most people don’t fail because they can’t do it.
They fail because they stay stuck in their own head for too long.

Sean nearly didn’t come to RISE.

Not because he didn’t want to change.
Because he’d got himself into such a funk that sitting on the fence felt easier than taking the first step.

That’s the part nobody talks about enough.

The excuses feel safer.
Waiting feels easier.
And the longer you leave it, the bigger the whole thing feels in your mind.

But once he came through the door, what surprised him most was how friendly it was
 and how easy it was to make it fit around real life.

Now, a year later, he’s lost 21 kilos — about 4 stone.

“If you’re thinking about it, you’re already halfway there
 just pull the trigger.”

That line will hit home for a lot of people.

Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t the training.
It’s making the decision to stop waiting.

If this sounds like where your head’s at right now, drop a message. You’re probably closer than you think.

Most people don’t fail because they don’t try.

They fail because they’re left to figure it out alone.

There’s a big difference between just turning up
 and being coached.
