Whether joining the local gym, or pumping iron from the comfort of their homes, all experienced fitness enthusiasts know that gym training need not be physically draining. Endorphin high, anyone? No, really. With the right attitude, a well rounded diet, and realistic expectations, within a few months even the laziest couch potato would think twice before missing a beginners yoga Orange County CA session not when their newly-visible abs are at stake.
It is a bit like enticing an overweight donkey with a carrot your fitness goals being the carrot, and you being the fat ass, pardon, big boned donkey, unless one keeps raising the bar and their fitness ideals are kept just slightly out of reach, seemingly attainable but still outside one's grasp, there's usually little motivation to keep pressing forward towards bigger and better milestones.
Because it takes most people at least 14 days of continuous effort to establish a new habit for themselves. So, lacking the motivation, for whatever reasons, should they become side-tracked from their objectives before reaching the summit of habit, not only are they likely to quit the new activity, but will be much less likely to even attempt similar activities in future.
Even the most reluctant newbie can be seen spitting fire and reaching for the heaviest weights they can find during their first week of training. But by the second week, the full-body aches and pains, commonly referred to as DOMS delayed onset muscle soreness, are being felt to the Nth degree. And being unable to lift even a fraction of the weight they did the week prior, they start second-guessing their willingness, and even desire, to finish up what is only the second week of their fitness regimen.
And, almost like Humpty Dumpty, they commit fitness suicide by leaping from the heights of their aspirations, while screaming, self destructive statements. Then all of their health goals come tumbling down. And all the fitness trainers and all friends could never put Humpty together again. Because poor Humpty had come to identify with self defeat way more than with any sense of accomplishment.
Had Humpty simply stuck to his plan, he would have gradually changed his habits, thereby literally restructuring his brain. His brains reward-centres would have been rewired to give him a sense of gratification every time he exerted some effort. Instead, he took the easy way out.
In order to rewire a brain, all that's required is its willingness to try something, anything. As long as whatever is being attempted is done consistently, and over a period of three weeks brainwashing's virtually assured. And why? Because the brain loves habit; it thrives on routine. For example, after several workout sessions of leaving the gym and feeling like superman, the brain comes to accept this as the naturally expected outcome of exercising.
But the stakes are high! With the subconscious mind being what usually motivates a person to take action; and the subconscious also being the realm of habit and instinct, it seems imperative that more people take the time, and make the effort, to develop healthier habits in their lives. After all, habits of behaviour are what come to define one's character. So, in that sense, everyone's given free reign to write their own life story. And based on the habitual behaviours of the characters involved, is it any surprise that so many life stories have sad endings?
