"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 capable of. There might be a chance you are in shape, completely out of shape, or simply looking to lose some weight. However, developing a body you can be proud, one that is healthy, and allows you to truly adore every possible last tiny inch of it truly is an amazing journey to try.
So what is the secret to making a 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 unmotivated and discouraged. Instead, understand that you are competing 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 need to come back with a firm dedication to achieving something you've always strongly want. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field each and every day. Without it, you will suffer the the inevitable reality of many new years resolutioners who give up each single year on creating the body of their dreams because they lack the ability to keep on coming back repeatedly timeand again.
Commitment also is evoked, although not the commitment that you're probably thinking of. In our world, we are fed this concept that everything must occur at the moment and if it doesn't occur now, it is not worth it at all. Your body is going to drastically change throughoutthe years, so why not make a real lifelong promise to staying healthy? Is that an attractive sellable idea? Not particularly. But is it something that might actually change the course of your life? Absolutely.
When you make a promise to keeping your body healthy throughout your entire life, you will at last reach whatever goal you wish. It's 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 can be pleased with for all the years to come. For me, that new concept changed my life as I was able to eventually hit my health targets after 12 years of struggling with my body image and food issues. But as soon as I changed 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 total and relentless commitment to staying healthy and watch how much your body will change in the short term as well.
Bring some commitment and consistency to the table, in all facets of your life, and things will change radically.
