Episode 12: Find Your Why

What if it is not about what and how – what if it is about understanding your ‘why’?

Simon Sinek’s work on why, discovered patterns about how leaders and top organisations think, act and communicate. His golden circle illustrates that in business we operate on three levels: what we do, how we do it, and why we do it - the why being the most important. He asks the question - “why do you do what you do?” When we know this we can cultivate our how and what.

Your why provides you with clarity, meaning and a roadmap. It is your purpose and belief - it is a navigation tool.

What if it isn’t about how you train, but about why you train? What if it isn’t about what you eat, but why you eat certain food? The what and how are important - weight training is better for females than cardio, eating whole organic food is better than eating processed food - but it’s the intent and context that is the most important, it’s your why that matters most.

When you know you’re why the intent shifts to that of love and abundance, to connection and commitment.

We can use the training and food as levers to connect to others and ourselves. The why teaches us to cultivate confidence, security, connection and self-love. It injects purpose and passion into our lives.

Why do I train?

Why do I want to achieve this goal?

Why is this important to me?

Find your why.
