MAB Adventures & PT: The Power of Choice


Imagine what’s possible if you used your ‘Power of Choice’.

Can you relate to this scenario at all? 

Your motivated and pumped to get fit and healthy and then someone puts a piece of cake in front of you at morning tea at a work meeting. Or you say you are going to walk every morning and before you know it, you have missed three mornings. Before you know it, the motivation you had when you first started on your mission has depleted? Or you are feeling happy and amazing and then something challenges you and completing changes your mood?  If you relate to these or a similar scenario you are like majority of people, YEP truth!

The truth is Motivation doesn’t last, it fades, through helping men and women achieve greatness nearly 10 years has really taught me so much about being ‘Mindfit’. I believe we all need to focus on the Mind & Body to be the best we can be, what’s the point of getting fit and healthy ‘short term’? So the million dollar question……. How do you become Mindfit?

It all comes down to ‘Power of choice’

I am grateful I discovered the ‘Power of choice’ so I can share the tool that helps me on a daily basis to be the best I can be. To help you understand the power of choice I want to share how I discovered it. It was through challenges in life from as early at the age of 14, with a severe bicycle accident where I lacerated my liver nearly in ½ which ended with major surgery. Then more major surgery at the age of 25 from a bowel obstruction from adhesions from the scar tissue. I have also ended up in a hospital bed for 5 nights because I pushed my limits too far in a ½ marathon, the biggest challenge of all was when life didn’t turn out how I expected it to be. Thankfully that moment when I hit rock bottom was the moment of awareness that I could choose how I wanted to respond. I could of chose to be stuck in a pity party or I could of chose to get back up and create the life I wanted to live.


I chose to live a happy, healthy, active, adventurous life full of love, I chose to use ‘Power of Choice’ and how awesome I can share this amazing tool with you all. When you own, you create your reality by the choices you make you then open up the power within.

Mel’s 5 tips how to use ‘Power of choice’ within:
1.   Choose to see the gift in every situation, positive and negative  (there is always a gift). With my bike accident at such a young age, the gift was ‘life’ I got to appreciate my life so much more because I nearly lost it. With this tool, write down a list of any situation that is or has challenged you and look for the gifts, if you look hard enough you will find them and it will give you peace around that challenge.
2.   Choose the life you want to live, be clear on who you want to be. You may choose to be a happy healthy active person: write a list of what that means. What does being happy mean to you? What does being healthy mean to you? It is not about what it means to me or anyone else, it is what is means to you. Then write down a list of the opposite- who you don’t want to be, maybe a sad, unhealthy lazy person. When you are clear on who you want to be, its actually only one choice to make when you have options in front of you
3.   Choose to be clear on your 'why'. Write down your why you choose to live your life a certain way. When you have a big enough reason why, it helps when you have someone putting cake in front of you, or helps you stay strong when you have to adapt to challenges.
4.   What would love do? This is the biggest powerful tool ever. Choose to ask this question and it will lead you to the best option that serves you for the greatest good. Some mornings I will ask myself what would love do and some mornings I do need to rest because I have pushed myself too much the day before, or some mornings I trust my body needs to get outside and feel the sun on my face.
5.   Choose to trust it is what it is. The fact is, many things in life you cannot control, and if you can trust the things you cannot control, simply is what it is. It will give you peace in your inner being.

Start with these 5 tips and watch how your world changes, become aware of your inner peace and contentment and also become aware of the change that happens. Remember nothing ever stays the same, you either evolve or dissolve, I hope you choose to evolve and embrace the gift of Power Of Choice.
