"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 just looking to lose some weight. However, developing a body that you really can be proud, one that is healthy, and lets you truly love every last tiny inch of it truly is a wonderful journey to travel down.
So what's the key 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 will become unmotivated and discouraged. As an alternative understand you're competing with yourself and yourself alone. Will there be times on your journey where you try and fail? Yes, many times. But every single time you do, you should come back with a firm dedication to achieving something that you really wanted. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field each and every day. Without it, you'll suffer the the inescapable and bad reality of many new years resolutioners who give up each single year on developing the body of their dreams because they are missing the ability to keep on coming back repeatedly timeand again.
Commitment also suggests itself, though not the commitment that you're probably thinking of. In our world, we are fed this strong idea that everything must happen right now and if it does not occur now, it is not worth it. Your body is going to change throughout all the years, so why don't you make a real lifelong promise to remaining healthy? Is that an attractive packageable idea? Not really. But is it something that might actually change the course of your life? Totally.
When you make a pledge to keeping your body healthy through your whole life, you'll at last reach whatever goal you wish. It is about seeing the bigger picture than merely the few months in front of you till summer. It is about developing something you can be proud of for all the years to come. For me, that concept made my life different as I was able to ultimately hit my fitness goals after 12 years of struggling with my self-image and food issues. But as soon as I shifted 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 works for you. Make a total commitment to remaining 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.
