It is our time to get up to bat and before we are on the plate, we have mentally struck out and kick at the dirt in frustration for not hitting that ball as far as it could soar. And so it goes with our life and the successes we could be enjoying if only the negative movie reel in our mind would sit down and shut up. We get in our own way when it comes to reaching our fitness goals because we are too busy coming up with reasons why we are unable to make it happen. Whether it stems from fear, frustration, laziness, depressed feelings or procrastination, our mind plays the biggest role in our ability to reach and maintain the fitness goals we desire.
There is no easy way to achieve success without hard work and lots of sweat, and we all need to put in the effort to get where we want in life. My Dad always told me, “it is a tough world out there”, and we do not need to make it harder on ourselves by playing negative mind games that keep us from creating a quality healthy lifestyle. There is no perfect time or place to start taking care of our bodies and our minds. The time is now and “negative Nancy or Ned” will need to take a back seat so that we can be successful with our attempt to reach our fitness goals. There will be frustration along the way and that is part of life and the journey to get healthy. Exercise will be hard and eating healthy will not always be one hundred percent, and that is called being human. What matters is maintaining that positive mental focus and drive to reach your goals and not allowing thoughts talk you out of doing what needs to be done. There is no amount of work, social life, family drama, laziness or whatever you allow to consume you that is more important than your health. Once this is realized, it will be easier to stay on track with consistent exercise and eating healthy because the excuses will no longer be an issue. You will finally be out of your own way and onto a new healthy you. Time to hit the ball out of the park and Stay Healthy!
