FPV

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm asking him to change his ways

And no message could have been any clearer

If you want to make the world a better place...

Michael Jackson - Man in the Mirror

In life we view ourselves in first person view FPV. We walk around viewing life as though we are in a Call of Duty game. We can view things infront of us, side to side, up /down but yet we still have to turn around to see what is behind us. FPV can be very good especially when focusing on goals however sometimes FPV doesn't give you the full story. 

For example, during my weight loss journey I have just been focusing on my goals but in my mind I still look the same. Even though my clothes were getting bigger and my energy was increasing I still felt and viewed myself as I did when I first started. I still saw me at 517 lbs even with the progress I have made. So one day at my weight loss session, I told my weight loss coach I felt like I am same size. The look on her face was priceless. She asked, Tristan have you looked at yourself in the mirror? I stated I have but I still see the 517 lbs version of me. So my weight loss coach told me get up and stand by the door. She took my phone and snapped two photos of me. And  then she sent the two photos I took when I started the journey to my phone. She stated do you see the difference. And I must say there was a significant change. I had an eureka moment after comparing those photos. Sometimes the mirror will need to stand in front of is the one in our minds. We must change the reflection of how we see ourselves mentally. Once this happens true healing begins...

Just remember...

1. Viewing life in FPV can sometimes blind you from whole picture that need to be viewed.
2. Change the reflection you see yourself in your mental mirror.
3. Life is too short but that doesn't mean you always have to drive fast...
4. Always celebrate your progress no matter how big or small.
5. It is ok for you to have a ME Day to get yourself together mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
