Congratulations Chris Evans!

When I heard that Chris Evans had scooped two of the top awards at last night’s Sony Radio Academy Awards I couldn’t have been more delighted. Voted by 100 industry professionals, Chris won the Music Radio Personality of the Year and Entertainment Awards. Brilliant! He completely deserves both awards in my view.

I love listening to Chris Evans on my way home from the office. His happy and positive attitude, makes me smile. He always sounds as though he is experiencing the best day of his life and his positivity is infectious. I love the way he is so encouraging to everyone who guests on his programme, from industry executives to the children who ring in with their news of the thing they have ‘done for the first time today’. He is gentle, compassionate, enthusiastic and intelligent.

Having a positive attitude to life is probably one of the most valuable personality traits we can learn. Complimenting people that we meet, seeing the good in folk, looking at the lovely things around us and vocalising our positive thoughts is a habit we can learn. And when we are positive to others, we become happier in our soul too.

One of the benefits of being in the business of helping folk to lose weight and become fitter, it is easy to find positive things to say and to encourage folk. Whether it’s a ‘well done for losing 2 lbs this week’, ‘you did so well with the exercises tonight’ , or ‘you look so much slimmer now’, it is a delight to see people ‘grow’ in their confidence as we confirm they are shrinking. We can help people who have little respect for themselves find their self-confidence and ‘grow’ as individuals.

If you wish you had a more positive attitude to life, why not start exercising and losing a few pounds? It is a great way to start. If you go along to one of our classes, you will find a bucket load of positivity waiting to be showered upon you. And remember to tune in to Chris Evans on Radio 2 on your way home from work to get you in the mood!
