"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 may ever go on is seeing what your body is able to do. Maybe you are in shape, completely out of shape, or simply hoping to lose some weight. Nonetheless, developing a body that you really can be proud, one that is healthy, and allows you to truly adore every possible last inch of it truly is a dazzling journey to travel down.
So what is the real secret to making a long-lasting change with your body?
Consistency and commitment.
There's nothing else like coming to the table each 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 daunted by the task at hand. Instead, really try and understand you're competing against and with yourself and yourself alone. Will there be times on your journey where you try and fail? Yes, many times. But each time you do, you must come back with a firm dedication to achieving something you strongly want. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field each day. Without it, you may suffer the the unavoidable and bad reality of many new years resolutioners who give up each single year on creating the body of their dreams because they are missing the power to keep on coming back repeatedly timeand 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 idea that everything must take place at this time and if it doesn't occur now, it's not worthwhile. Your body is going to really change acrossthe years, so why not make a real lifelong promise to staying healthy? Is that a sexy sellable idea? Not really. But is it something that might truly change the course of your life? Definitely.
When you make a promise to keeping your body healthy throughout your entire life, you'll ultimately reach whatever goal you wish. It is about seeing the big picture than merely the few months in front of you until the summer. It's honestly about developing something that you truly can be proud of forever. For me, that concept changed the course of my life as I was able to ultimately hit my health targets after 12 years of fighting with my body image and food issues. But as soon as I modified my view of what I was trying to accomplish, everything I had wished for came to me. So try it on for size and see if it works for you. Make a lifetime and relentless commitment 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 aspects of your life, and things will change radically.
