The Secret To Lasting 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 best most challenging journeys you'll ever go on is seeing what your body is capable of. Perhaps you are in shape, totally out of shape, or simply expecting to lose some weight. Nonetheless, developing a body that you can be proud, one that is healthy, and allows you to truly adore each last piece of it really is a dazzling journey to attempt.

So what's the secret to making a permanent change with your body?

The presence of consistency and commitment.

There's nothing else like coming to the table every 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 distracted and deterred from your vision. As an alternative, understand you're competing with yourself and yourself alone.

You are going to fail many times on this journey to building the best body you can. However, even though you fail you have to get back up and stay committed to your goals. Commitment is about working towards your dreams no matter the circumstance or situation. When you are just interested, you only do it when it's convenient.

Being able to be consistent over long periods of time is one of the most crucial aspects in achieving your dreams. Without that consistency, you aren't going to be able to thrive through the tough times that are going to inevitably happen. You must be willing to struggle and work hard especially when you don't want to.

Commitment also comes to mind, though not the commitment that you're possibly thinking of. In our world, we are fed this concept that everything must happen right now and if it doesn't, it isn't worth it. Your body is going to really change throughout the years, so why don't you make a lifelong commitment to staying healthy?

Is working hard and keeping at it a sexy idea? No, not really. But it is the thing that could truly change your life if you stay with it.

Envision yourself with that body. See it and feel it as if you already have it right now. Know what chasing this dream means to you, because when times get tough, you're going to have to hold onto those reasons of why you are doing all of this.

So try it on for size and see if it works for you. Make a lifetime commitment to staying healthy and watch how much your body will change in the short term as well.

Remember, commitment and consistency.
