The Secret To Lasting Physical Change

"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'll ever go on is seeing what your body is able to do. Maybe you are in shape, wholly out of shape, or simply looking to lose some weight. However, developing a body that you can be proud, one that's healthy, and allows you to truly love every last inch of it really is an amazing journey to travel down.

So what is the 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. As an alternative understand you are competing 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 need to come back with a dedication to achieving something you've always strongly desire. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field every day. Without it, you may suffer the the inevitable fact of many new years resolutioners who give up every single year on making the body of their dreams because they lack the ability to keep on coming back time and again.

Commitment also comes to mind, though not the commitment that you're possibly thinking about. In our world, we are fed this idea that everything must occur right now and if it does not actually happen right now, it isn't worth it. Your body is going to change throughoutthe years, so why don't you make a real lifelong commitment to keeping healthy? Is that a marketable and sellable idea? Not particularly. But is it something that might really change the course of your life? Definitely.

When you make a commitment to keeping your body healthy through your entire life, you may eventually reach whatever goal you wish. It is all about seeing the overall picture than merely the few months in front of you until the summer. It's about developing something that you truly can be happy with for ever and ever. For me, that idea changed my life as I was able to eventually hit my health goals after 12 years of struggling with my self image and food issues. But as soon as I changed my perspective of what I was making an attempt to attain, everything I had wished for came to me. So try it on for size and see if it works for you. Make a lifetime commitment to staying healthy and watch how much your body will change in the short term also.

Bring some commitment and consistency to the table, in all sides of your life, and things will change drastically.
