"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 is able to do. There might be a chance you are in shape, wholly out of shape, or just looking to lose some weight. However, developing a body you can be proud, one that's healthy, and allows you to truly adore each last inch of it actually is a wonderful journey to travel down.
So what's the secret behind 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 will become deeply discouraged and deterred. Instead, really try and understand you are contesting with yourself and yourself alone. Will there be times on your journey where you try and fail? Yes, many times. But every time you do, you should come back with a firm dedication to achieving something you've always really wanted. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field each day. Without it, you will suffer the the unavoidable fact of many new years resolutioners who give up every single year on creating the body of their dreams because they are missing the power to keep on coming back again and againand again.
Commitment also comes to mind, but not the commitment that you are likely thinking of in this case. In our world, we are fed this concept that everything must occur right now and if it does not occur now, it's not worthwhile. Your body is going to change acrossthe years, so why don't you make a real lifelong promise to keeping healthy? Is that a sexy sellable idea? Not really. But is it something that could truly change the course of your life? Totally.
When you make a commitment to keeping your body healthy all throughout your entire life, you'll eventually reach whatever goal you wish. It is about seeing the big picture than simply the few months in front of you till summer. It's about developing something you can be pleased with forever. For me, that new concept changed the course of my life as I was able to eventually hit my health targets after 12 years of struggling with my self-image and food issues. But as soon as I changed my perspective of what I was attempting to achieve, everything I had wished for came to me. So try it on for size and see if it might work for you. Make a total dedication to keeping healthy and watch how much your body will change in the short term also.
Bring some commitment and consistency to the table, in all sides of your life, and things will change drastically.
