This week we are chatting with Greg McKeown – the author of the book Essentialism: The disciplined Pursuit of Less.
We’re going to be chatting about how to apply the concept of essentialism in your life so that your fitness and nutrition goals can become more attainable. Greg and I discussed how to prioritize, how to avoid getting distracted and pulled off target. He also explains why we should say “no” more so that we're actually able to focus on the things that are important.
When we are trying to lose weight, we get bombarded with conflicting messages: what type of diet should we follow, what are we going to do in the gym, what’s the best supplement to take. The problem with the information overloads is that we then start trying to do a hundred different things and we forget about the bigger picture. This episode will give you clarity and it should show you how to focus on the things that are important.
