The Bevan James Eyles Show - The Fitness Behaviour Podcast

On this episode of The Bevan James Eyles show I cover three different areas:

1. I dig deeper into the work that we did on the last episode, where we looked at developing your character traits (both performance and moral).
2. I then go into the value of having sport in your life and how it's something that we should all aim to participate in.
3. In the main section of the show I look at when is it not a good time to make big decisions in your life. I then look at how you can work through these times, so you can get to a place where you can make wise decisions.

On this episode I talk about a concept I came up with called The 3 Part Healthy Family. Our family is a big part of our life, unfortunately many families have struggles that create a harder life for everyone in them. Ideally our family should be a thing that makes our lives better.

Do you ever find yourself thinking 'here I am again' when you have failed at trying to create change in your life? For many people they experience this over and over again which teaches them that they can't trust themselves, that change is not possible. In this episode I talk about this idea and introduce a way where you can build trust in your life, so you can believe in yourself in the areas where you want to grow and actually create the change you desire.
