Time for some ToughLove
Introducing ToughLove's Justin Gouldson
My incredible career in fitness began in 1990, at the age of 17. Fast forwards over 30 years to our current time line - and the link between unmanaged, unhealthy stress on a persons health, frame of mind, happiness, ability to cope, think clearly and their physical appearance is clear!
Factor in historical, unmanaged stress, and world events since 2019 - and it’s no wonder why so many people are struggling. The world is still in the aftermath of the pandemic, not to mention the personal / professional impacts. What this has shown the world - is just how powerful fear can be, and how important it is for people to find the relief they so desperately need by being able to talk, share, off load, process, grieve and heal.
At ToughLove - we work closely with people. We understand and have personal experience of how debilitating feelings of stress, fear, worry and anxiety can affect us and impact our lives. We’re also aware of how easy it is to turn to false, unhealthy coping mechanisms - caffeine, sugar/s, alcohol, processed foods… Somehow becoming locked into a spiral of self ambush, feeling like there’s no way out.
Well there is a way out!
2025 - Will be the year we restore the quality of the relationship we have with ourselves, holding ourselves accountable for how we look and feel - and whether or not we are going to continue being fragile, so easily distracted and fixated on our phones, tablets and devices. Meanwhile the clock of life continues to tick by.
2025 - Will be the year we make friends with ourselves, start focusing on our own needs, and being brave enough to talk about the stuff we want to leave behind. We’ve all been through tough times, and there’s plenty of support available to people who want to break free from self imprisonment / victim mentality. I know it sounds harsh, but life is too short to be buried under an avalanche of stress. Life is also too short to simply settle / entertain any false beliefs around potential and self worth.
We have powerful - skills, tools, and resources to effectively change any area of life we choose. What we have to remember - is that a happy, healthy life is an inside job. You already have all the technology you’ll ever need installed inside you. Technology that’s far more superior than your SMART phone. Sometimes we need to consciously disconnect in order to reconnect. In doing so - life changes!
Small steps at a time, that will rapidly turn into giant strides.
Visualise how you want to look and feel one month from now, and so it shall be.

I’m Justin, welcome to ToughLove.
