Hey,
Hope you've started the week as you mean to go on.
A quick one from me today.
So before travelling Central America lots of people told me don't go here, don't go there.
You'll get mugged.
I heard they kidnap people there.
Heard bad things about there.
I'd stay away from there if I was you.
It's the highest murder rate in the world.
I often asked them people what is was like when they went, and to my amusement they hadn't even been.
So here they are giving me advice on where to go and they haven't even been there.
So after this I even googled some of these places to see the consensus online and low and behold all the media sites saying how dangerous it is and how it's so dangerous to go here that's it's a category 5 travel warning.
Meaning basically do not go.
Now having been to places like El Salvador which yes does have the highest murder capital in the world, I actually found I felt safer walking around there than I would in certain parts of London.
Now as I say yes it does have the highest murder capital in the world IF:
> You make drugs
> You sell drugs
> You transport drugs
> You're involved in gang activities
> Or you simply act anything other than a law abiding citizen
So for 99.9% of travellers or foreign nationals these countries are very safe.
Despite what you read in the various media outlets.
And in 99.9% of reports it's simply a way to single out, control peoples opinion and push their own agenda that fits their narrative.
So believing everything you read is nonsense.
I mean they simply tell you half the story.
You shouldn't even read the news.
It's literally a waste of your day.
Now how does this relate to you and your fitness.
Here's how.
STOP READING THE PAPERS, THE MAGAZINES AND LISTENING TO THE NEWS.
They tell you just enough to make you want to buy their products and keep you in their target audience.
Yes celebrity xyz lost 20 Lbs but it wasn't using the products you see them promote.
Dropping 10 Lbs in 10 days to get in that summer dress is possible but what they didn't print is how you've got to literally starve yourself until you feel like sh*t to do it.
Losing cellulite by drinking a kale, cucumber, and mango smoothie doesn't work.
The green tea you absolutely hate drinking doesn't help you lose weight.
And the latest scientific formula doesn't help you get back to your pre-baby weight in just 4 weeks.
You get the drift right.
The message is simple.
Stop reading Magazines.
Stop reading newspapers.
Stop listening to people who gossip.
Stop listening to anything that doesn't make you feel good.
Because they are only out to reel you to then get you to buy the next copy that they produce.
Never wondered how magazines have had a new headline each week for the last 5, 10, 15+ years?
They simply have clever marketing that makes you feel sh*t enough to buy their products hoping it's going to help you.
And I'm sorry.
But they won't.
So message of the day.
Don't believe what you read.
