Consultant Life

Unfortunately we all have the Dave & Debbie downers of the office. Some days they win and some days they loose at winding you up, but this is a simple method I do to block it out.

The main reason why I avoid eating the junk food at work i.e. avoid create a habit. But I will have a Krispy Kreme in my own time instead. I’m self aware I’m a comfort eating so I need to monitor myself.

It’s so easy to get into the habit of ordering pizza and ice cream each night. Trust me I know ha. So I preplan my evening meals to avoid this. One day a week I’d have then a so called, “cheat meal”. I view food as protein, carbs & veg so it makes it a lot easier for me. Instead of being on a diet where it’s like you need chicken, rice and veg etc. Be flexible... you are a consultant after all. You have no choice.

This is how I’ve managed to dodge the everyday cooked breakfast.

Today I’m finally hitting the gym! I can’t explain how excited this makes me! I’m literally only walking & taking it easy on the cardio machines. BUT MENTALLY I’m over the moon and that’s all that matters!

A new consultants biggest mistake with their evening meal food Allowance!

It’s too easy especially being an IT Consultant I feel this more than most. Working longer and more hours does not more you’ll have the best results! You need to work smarter! Smarter means scheduling breaks, hacking your activities, finding efficiencies and then allocating your spare time to a new activity.

I’m certainly not about self diagnosing! But I’m also not about waiting around to be saved either. So here’s a couple of safe and recommended things I checked up.

Resting doesn’t mean doing anything mentally! I think sometimes rest is used as a term to give up. Even when I cannot train I will have structure in my life. My mental strength is a lot more important than my physical anyways!

Recently I’ve been in the hospital and how I’ve reacted to it I think is completely different from your average person. Is it because I’m stronger or more cold? Or it is because I’ve trained my mindset? I’ve learnt my thoughts become my actions. At 23 years old I nearly died and it was the best experience which changed my life for the better.
