The 7 secrets of a successful health transformation

Why is it that some people manage to transform their health and others don’t? Bodyshot have worked with hundreds of clients over the last few years, and we’ve observed the differences between those who succeed and those who don’t. Here’s what you need to consider if you want to reach a successful outcome.

You are fully invested

Successful people know that to succeed, you need to invest, and I don’t just mean in time and money. A client who has what it takes to transform their health will be fully invested emotionally, physically and intellectually and very focused on their desired outcome.

You have patience

Implementing lasting and sustainable changes is a slow game. Think a marathon not a 100m sprint. You need to be patient, and focused. Appreciating that things take time is essential to the outcome, and you won’t be in a rush.

You trust the program

Holding on to preconceived ideas and limiting beliefs damages the chances of success. Trust in the person you’ve hired to help you. Believe in the power of two people focused on a common goal with an unswerving desire to make it happen. Allow yourself to be guided.

You make it personal

Recognising that everyone’s different is essential for success. Focus on your needs, your goals and aspirations. Don’t compare yourself to others. Don’t accept the one-size-fits-all approaches. Make it about you. Do what works for you not everyone else.

You show up

When you show up, you’re fully engaged and present. You are prepared for coaching sessions, have done the homework and remain open-minded and focused. You understand that you still need to do the hard work, but need the expertise of a professional to help you execute.

You take a holistic view

Changing your health requires a holistic view. An issue with sleep for example might be affected by nutrition, hormones, stress, digestion or any number of factors related to sleep hygiene. Being able to look at the bigger picture is essential.

You trust your coach

There’s a whole load of conflicting advice out there about health, fitness and nutrition. If you want to stay focused and be successful, find someone you trust and listen to them. It’s okay to stay informed but if you cast the net too widely, you’ll end up conflicted and confused.

The Six Signals®

Bodyshot have identified the main issues that clients typically struggle with: Sleep; Mental Health; Energy; Body Composition; Digestion and Fitness. We call these the Six Signals®. A typical client will have red flags going up in one or more of these areas – usually two or three. Bodyshot specialise in helping clients manage the Six Signals® and recognise the warning signs.

How to get started

Before you make a plan or go any further, get laser-focused on your intent. What do you want to achieve? And more importantly, why? What do you really want to change? Often, the real goal isn’t the stated goal. Sit down and get honest with yourself, and then answer these powerful questions:

What is your intent?
I want this because……..
I want this now because……..

What’s your Health IQ?

If you’re reading this, you’re are probably in a reasonably senior position, running your own business or have a busy life running the home and juggling other responsibilities. Either way, you’re busy. The convergent pressures of work and family life have probably meant that the time you did have to spend on health and fitness has disappeared.
