THE PERFECT DAY

These days life is a fast paced, little rest type of affair where we often don't even have tome to reflect on what we accomplished from fay to day, let alone have some time out to do something positive for ourselves.

This week I will try and lay what a perfect week might look like.

Now I'm under no illusions that completing a near perfect anything is bloody hard, if not impossible, but it will at least give you an insight into what to aim for and it also gives you something to try and get as close as you can to.

If you can only get part of the way through the perfect day, or can only completes parts of it at various times then that's fine - that's simply your starting point.

Your aim then is to not drop below your starting point and then to try and build on it over time.

This week there will be 5 posts (including tomorrow):

Monday - Prep Day (today's post)

Tuesday - Your Perfect Morning

Wednesday - Your Perfect Afternoon

Thursday - Your Perfect Evening

Friday - Perfect Week Wrap Up

So onto Prep Day.

I'm not a motivation slogan type of guy but one of my favorite saying sis "failing to prepare is preparing to fail."

This post is pretty much that.

To achieve perfection is anything you need to prep your mind, your body and your life to do so.

So before embarking this series of perfection you'll need to do the following:

NUTRITION

Go shopping for easy to prepare meals if you're not a master chef so you can get home from work and you just have to cook or heat it up and not have to get some takeaway on the way home. 

TRAINING

Schedule in 2 - 3 training sessions for this week. Whether it's personal training (I know a guy...), group classes, actual use of your gym membership or whatever, schedule it in and do it - no excuses.

SUPPORT/ACCOUNTABILITY

Get yourself a buddy to do this with which should be an easy sell as you'll have everything worked out and they just need to follow you - it's a simple 7 day commitment. Sit down and develop your calendars together as you'll need each other to complete this week and achieving perfection ids always better with someone else then on your own.

THE LITTLE THINGS COUNT

Get your gym stuff from out of the back of the cupboard. Check if your gym shoes are ready to go. Get that half eaten apple out of your gym bag. What exercises are you going to do when you train? Don't leave anything to chance - prepare the aspects that seem insignificant because 50 insignificant things can instill make a huge change in anything or anyone.

Tomorrow we'll kick off with the perfect morning.
