"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. " | Socrates
One of the best most challenging journeys you'll ever go on is seeing what your body can do. Maybe you are in shape, completely out of shape, or just looking to lose some weight. However, developing a body that you really can be proud, one that is healthy, and lets you really adore each last tiny inch of it really is an amazing journey to undertake.
So what is the key to making a long-lasting change with your body?
Consistency and commitment.
There's nothing else like coming to the table every single day and giving it your best shot. Your best effort must be yours and yours alone. Don't start comparing your journey to other journeys or else you'll become lackadaisical and discouraged. As an alternative understand you're competing with yourself and yourself alone. Will there be times on your journey where you try and fail? Yes, many times. But every single time you do, you need to come back with a firm dedication to achieving something that you strongly want. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field each day. Without it, you'll suffer the the unavoidable fact of many new years resolutioners who give up each single year on creating the body of their dreams because they do not have the ability to keep on coming back repeatedly timeand again.
Commitment also suggests itself, but not the commitment you're possibly thinking of. In our world, we are fed this idea that everything must happen right now and if it doesn't occur now, it isn't worth it. Your body is going to change acrossthe years, so why not make a lifetime commitment to remaining healthy? Is that a marketable and sellable idea? Not particularly. But is it something that could truly change the course of your life? Absolutely.
When you make a commitment to keeping your body healthy throughout your entire life, you'll at last reach whatever goal you wish. It's about seeing the bigger picture than merely the few months in front of you till summer. It's honestly about developing something that you can be happy with for ever and ever. For me, that idea changed my life as I was able to eventually hit my health goals after 12 years of struggling with my self-image and food issues. But as soon as I changed my world view of what I was making an attempt to accomplish, everything I had wished for came to me. So try it on for size and see if it might work for you. Make a lifetime and relentless commitment to staying healthy and watch how much your body will change in the short term too.
Bring some commitment and consistency to the table, in all aspects of your life, and things will change radically.
