What is this pattern?
Not doing to yourself as you would do to others.
I'll let you go over to his site and read the full post, as I am not going to reprint it here, but I have another piece of information that may fit into this puzzle.
Go and read the post and then come back.
All done?
The bit that got me was him talking about not sticking to what we tell others to do. As I was reading it I noticed that there is another pattern possibly going on; a metaprogramme running in the background called Options/Procedures.
Options/Procedures is a deep unconscious programme that comes as a part of the NLP metaprogrammes work from back in the early days of NLP
Here's some info about this pattern:
Options - Procedures
Does the person look for alternatives or like to keep their options open or prefer to follow established procedures?
Options: This group is motivated by the possibility to do something in another way. They are the type of people who will develop procedures and then not follow them. They enjoy breaking or bending the rules. Exploring new ideas and possibilities is of great interest. They may start a new project and not feel compelled to finish it. To motivate/influence these people, use words such as: opportunity, alternatives, break the rules, flexibility, variety, unlimited possibilities, expand your choices, options, … . Use of words such as the foregoing, will help you to identify this type of person. These people do well in a situation that requires solutions or alternatives to current systems - e.g. fashion designer, process reengineering.
Procedures: These people like to follow set rules/processes. Once they understand a procedure they will repeat it over and over again. They have great difficulty developing new processes/procedures and without a clearly defined procedure feel lost or stuck. They are more concerned about how to do something than why they should do it. Bending or breaking rules is heresy! They are motivated by words such as: correct way, tried and true, first ... then ... lastly, proven path, follow this procedure to the letter, … . Positions suited to these people would be bookkeeper or commercial airline pilot.
Distribution (in a work context): Options (40%), Options and Procedures (20%), Procedures (40%)
Please remember that there are always multiple patterns working, and that each pattern is context dependant, even though some patterns may also be cross contextual. Here's a good way that metaprogrammes can be used in an informal setting.
Back to the Leangains story...
So what does this have to do with Martins story?
It's simple, I suspect that many of the people Martin is talking about are highly options oriented in the exercise and diet context. This will lead them naturally toward trying new programmes, regimes and systems out, getting bored and moving onto the next one that they have uncovered.
I bet what also happens once you turn yourself into your own client is that you become more procedures oriented. Why would this happen though?
Because once you become a client (even of yourself) you defer your authority to the 'coach' and this leads you to drop the need for options. It's an elegant solution to a problem that many trainers and coaches have.
Happy training,

Training For Fat Loss? Intermittent Fasting + Weight Training = Results
I'd put him the way of Intermittent Fasting as he was ready to start cutting some fat after a period of bulking.
Zip forward to present day and here he was talking about how great Intermittent Fasting was, and about the latest training program he'd been doing.
He mentioned that the program had some burpees (this link has a very attractive woman doing some pretty reasonable burpees, the video isn't perfect, but I can forgive that) at the end, and he considered those good for helping him burn some more fat off.
An alarm bell rang in my head.
It went something like this:
What are we trying to do when we are cutting fat?
We are attempting to get rid of as much fat as possible, whilst maintaining as much muscle mass as possible.
Mistaking States for Goals in Your Life?
When I started to apply this to my own thoughts, habits and mental processes, my life became a lot more simple, more effective and more pleasurable. Why?
Because I cut out a huge amount of time, effort and energy that I had previously devoted to getting states, when I could have had them straight away!
When you have finished reading this, ask yourself how much time you might save by making this small, but significant, change....
Over to Andy:
Sometimes, as a coach, I’ve asked someone what their goal is and they say something like “I want to be happy.” And these are usually people who don’t seem to be that happy at the moment, so they don’t believe they’ve got there yet. And no wonder; they think they are setting happiness as a goal, but actually it’s not a goal, it’s an emotional state. And if happiness is important to the person, and they are motivated towards it, then happiness is also a value - but it’s not a goal.
Let’s look at the distinction between states and goals.
Usually we talk about emotional states fairly vaguely - not surprising, as there are different ways of feeling happy, and feelings are not always easy to express in words. A goal, on the other hand, needs to be stated precisely. You need to specify exactly what you want - or how will you know when you have got it?
States are timeless. You can have any state you want, right now - at least in principle. If you want to be happy, you can just think about a good time you’ve had, or a good friend, or some quality that you value and you know that you have, and you instantly feel happier. Try it now - remember a time when you were really happy, and step back into that time and let yourself feel that happiness. And you could do that with any state, and we often do without thinking consciously about it - although why would we want to do it except with positive states?
In principle, you can have any state you want instantly, because states are a response to our internal representations, which we are in charge of.
Goals are different. For a goal to happen, something has to change in the real world, and that takes time.
A goal will also need a number of steps to get from here to the goal. How many steps will depend on the goal, and also on how your mind chunks the information about how to get there. The smaller the chunk size your mind likes to use, the more steps - but each step will be smaller. In fact a good way to work out the path to your goal is to find the final step and work backwards.
With a state, there are no steps involved - you just go into it.
So make sure you are clear on the difference between a state and a goal, and make sure it’s a well-formed goal that you’re setting.
So now you have finished that section, and know the difference between a state and a goal, what would happen if you changed your ways and saved yourself the time and energy put into trying to attain states?
Happy State and Goal achieving,
George Super Boot Camps
