Changing your 'to do list' to a 'done list.'

At first glance you’ll probably be expecting some kind of motivational ‘get off you ass and do some work’ article.

Well I’m sorry to disappoint you. It’s actually about being grateful for what you’ve achieved which leads nicely to what you’re about to achieve.

I referring to something called a ‘Grateful Log’. I have Charles Poliquin to thank for this and I always give credit where credit is due.

The Grateful Log is simple…before you go to sleep, you write down all the things you’re grateful for what’s happened in that day.

So this becomes your done list…

I am grateful for the amount of Boot Camp clients that showed up tonight.
I’m grateful for the choices I made throughout the day with foods
For being able to help my friends out
For the weather at Boot camp
For the phone interview going so well
For being able to spend time with my Dad


You can write down whatever you like but the main thing is, you’re going to bed on a positive note (no pun intended). Meaning you’re helping to put your sub conscious mind at rest.

Being grateful for what you’ve achieve is far more positive than writing down a list that you haven’t achieved at the end of the night.

Here’s what you may achieve from using a grateful log

A better nights sleep
You’ll attract more of what you’re grateful for (you become what you think about)
You begin to appreciate life on a whole new level
You actually result in achieving more because of your new found positive nature
More control over your stress levels


Even better…it’s free - once you’ve bought a nice book and pen anyway.
This has to be one of the best things I have ever done to help myself achieve all I want to achieve.

Every personal training client and biosignature client receives a grateful log book on their first consultation when signing up with me.

Why? Because it’s that easy to help change someone’s life…

Why not ask your child what they achieved today when you tuck them in bed?

It’s their way of being able to tell you what a fun day they had as well as appreciating what their grateful for...what a great way to finish your day and start a new one.

I’m grateful that I’ve written this article and hopefully some of you will take action.
