You Will Never Realize Your Beginners Yoga Orange County CA Training Goals Without Visualizing Them First
All too often, people will notice summer looming around the corner, and suddenly feel inspired enough to proclaim, their goals. That's the sound of danger music. Because to err is human but when someone's about to do something especially ridiculous, the director queues the danger music. Beginners yoga Orange County CA training goals should be practical, in line with one's long-term health objectives, and, most importantly, achievable. So, no reaching for the 300 pound barbell on your first visit.
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.
Most people's motivations are like the wind: it merely comes and goes, blowing to and fro. And being more captivated by outside appearances than their inner-drives, gladiators-in-training are prone to dropping the gauntlet at the first sign of opposition. They had not endured their trial by fire yet, reflexively pulling back from the flame before they even had the chance to touch it.
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.
The simple solution would have been for them to have placed more emphasis on the vision of how they would have benefitted from subjecting themselves to the fire, rather than focusing on the fire itself. Simply put, burning feels bad; but coming out on the other side of the experience, feels good.
Simply visualizing the intended outcome would have inspired enough motivation to overcome, and endure, any temporary discomfort encountered. Keeping one's eye on the prize is simply a means to an end. Professional athletes do it. Navy Seals do it. Successful businessman, do it. Even goddesses of victory like Nike and just do it. So why does not the average person simply do it? The short answer, it requires some discipline. And perhaps only a couple weeks of it before it becomes habit. Easy enough for the superior man, but for the average person, it can be a bit of a chore.
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?
