One of the biggest challenge that people face when it comes to improving the health is they can’t get over with who they were and where they are right now. Most people will not accept that fact that THEY CAN DO IT. Even after seeing so many facts, real life people achieving some of the greatest and unbelievable feats in life just by following healthy lifestyle we do not get the will to do it for ourselves.
Because we just want to resist the pain, we don’t want to improve through struggle, we don’t want to experience discomfort every day to enjoy the benefits and amazing fruits of our hard work in long run. Generally in life or with health, if we resist something it tends to persist.
We are fascinated towards a great physique because it says a lot about self-improvement, it is about self-discipline . If one does not have all these enviable trails like determination or commitment one would not last this process. If a person is having a great physique which is worth taking notice of, it did not occur naturally to them. It needs a lot of mental strength, discipline, focused diet and food, resisting the temptations, hard and painful work and more over it is about learning, trying different things, failing and starting over, being patient to see results. It is also kind of meditative. With physical fitness and strength, there are always a plateau we hit, so we need to keep improving and adding new things to the routine so that our body learns and adopts to new movements and gains new strength.
It is like going into a space which puts you though difficulty and pain and going through it again and again. This creates new circuitry and neurons in the brain which develops this attitude naturally.
And after a while it becomes a lifestyle. If people really stick to it and be consistent, the same persistence extends to rest of the activities and aspirations that one has. Because of this transformed mindset, you will be able to venture into the areas that you are passionate about more efficiently, you would be able to face your fears and take them head on and overcome the obstacles. Gradually you will start witnessing the success and positive results in your ventures because of this mindset.
The effort that you put is kind of investment for your future. This investment not only serves you with your health in future but also with other areas. Whatever happens, this investment is for sure going to give dividends.
Building a reasonably good physique for me is not about showing off or not for self-satisfaction. For me I always thought that it helps me in achieving my ambitions. Which is helping people to improve their well being, improve their lifestyle all around. It builds a kind of credibility and integrity. When I speak to someone they look up to me and I need to lead by example. Whether it is about food or exercising or general lifestyle or relationships, When I say that I have read certain exercise and nutrition certification books, I took time and effort to experiment on my body , and then show the outcome in the form of myself. It is about being authentic and not faking it for financial benefits.
