The Secret To Lasting Physical Change

By Evan Sanders


"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 greatest most challenging journeys you may ever go on is seeing what your body can do. There might be a chance you are in shape, completely out of shape, or merely hoping to lose some weight. However, developing a body you can be proud, one that's healthy, and allows you to truly love every possible last piece of it truly is a dazzling journey to undertake.

So what is the secret behind making an enduring 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 lackadaisical and daunted by the task at hand. As an alternative understand you're contesting 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 must come back with a commitment to achieving something that you strongly desire. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field every day. Without it, you'll suffer the the unavoidable fact of many new years resolutioners who give up each single year on developing the body of their dreams because they do not have the personal power to keep on coming back time and again.

Commitment also suggests itself, but not the commitment that you're likely thinking of. In our world, we are fed this strong idea that everything must happen at this time and if it doesn't happen right now, it isn't worthwhile. Your body is going to change acrossthe years, so why not make a real lifelong commitment to keeping healthy? Is that a marketable and packageable idea? Not so much. But is it something that could actually change the course of your life? Totally.

When you make a promise to keeping your body healthy through your whole life, you may at last reach whatever goal you wish. It's about seeing the big picture than just the few months in front of you until summer. It is about developing something that you can be pleased with for all the years to come. 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 world view of what I was making an attempt to accomplish, everything I had wished for came to me. So try it on for size and see if it's working for you. Make a lifelong dedication to keeping healthy and watch how much your body will change in the short term also.

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