"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 most fulfilling and most challenging journeys you may ever go on is seeing what your body can do. Perhaps you are in shape, completely out of shape, or just expecting to lose some weight. Nonetheless, developing a body that you can be proud, one that is very healthy, and allows you to really adore each last tiny inch of it actually is a dazzling journey to try.
So what is the key to making an enduring change with your body?
Consistency and commitment.
There's nothing else like coming to the table every 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 unmotivated and discouraged. Instead, understand that 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 must come back with a commitment to achieving something you've always strongly desire. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field every day. Without it, you'll suffer the the unavoidable and bad reality of many new years resolutioners who give up each and every 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 is evoked, but not the commitment that you're possibly thinking of in this case. In our world, we are fed this concept that everything must happen right now and if it does not happen now, it isn't worth it at all. Your body is going to drastically change throughoutthe years, so why not make a lifetime commitment to staying healthy? Is that a sexy marketable idea? Not so much. But is it something that would truly change the course of your life? Totally.
When you make a commitment to keeping your body healthy throughout your entire life, you may at last reach whatever goal you wish. It is all about seeing the bigger picture than merely the few months in front of you until summer. It's about developing something that you truly can be proud of for all the years to come. For me, that idea changed 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 modified my perspective of what I was attempting to attain, everything I had wished for came to me. So try it on for size and see if it's working for you. Make a lifelong dedication to keeping healthy and watch how much your body will change in the short term too.
Bring some commitment and consistency to the table, in all sides of your life, and things will change drastically.
