"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 is capable of. Maybe you are in shape, totally out of shape, or merely looking to lose some weight. Nonetheless, developing a body that you really can be proud, one that is very healthy, and permits you to truly adore every possible last inch of it truly is an amazing journey to undertake.
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 deeply discouraged and deterred. Instead, really try and understand you are competing against and 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 dedication to achieving something you've always strongly want. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field each day. Without it, you may suffer the the inevitable reality of many new years resolutioners who give up each and every single year on making the body of their dreams because they are missing the power to keep on coming back repeatedly timeand again.
Commitment also suggests itself, although not the commitment that you are likely thinking of in this case. In our world, we are fed this strong idea that everything must take place at the moment and if it doesn't occur now, it's not worth it. Your body is going to really change throughoutthe years, so why don't you make a lifelong dedication to staying healthy? Is that a marketable and marketable idea? Not particularly. But is it something that could really change the course of your life? Definitely.
When you make a pledge to keeping your body healthy throughout your entire life, you will ultimately reach whatever goal you wish. It's about seeing the overall picture than simply the few months in front of you till summer. It's about developing something you can be happy with for ever and ever. For me, that idea changed the course of my life as I was able to ultimately hit my fitness goals after 12 years of struggling with my body image and food issues. But as soon as I modified my world view of what I was trying to achieve, everything I had wished for came to me. So try it on for size and see if it's working for you. Make a total 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 drastically.
