Understanding the real deep down reason why you exercise is MASSIVELY important to your long term success and continued habit of exercising.
Doing it just for a wedding, for a holiday, for the beginning of a sports season is usually a good way to crash on your programme when those events happen, and you say “then what”?
Getting to ask better questions of yourself os a great start.
So if you are getting ready for a wedding, it’s natural you want to look your best for your wedding, that’s totally understandable! What happens afterwards though? What happens if you don’t exercise, then isn’t it natural to assume you may put on weight, not feel so good, and your confidence and self-esteem levels seem likely to drop? What happens to your moods and those around you?
Isn’t it better to get fitter and STAY fitter? If you are feeling more full of energy, aren’t you able to contribute more to your marriage, the household, your family and relationship in general?
What about the beginning of a sports season? Isn’t it always the same with a sports team, you get loads out in the summer when the weather is nice and come october or november, training numbers for teams can often drop 90%?!!! If you had most of your team taking all year round training seriously, then it doesn’t take a genius to work out that your team would become way more successful?!!!
What happens when you work hard for a holiday? You usually drink and eat more on holiday, usually put a lot of weight back on anyway, and what happens to that euphoria when you come back? Does it turn into a big sulk realising that you wont be on holiday until next year?
Are you really going to be sulking for another 11 months? Isn’t there more in life to look forward to?!!!
Being healthier and fitter should be a 12 month part of your life. When you’re fitter and healthier, you tend to do better at everything. Your relationships are better, you tend to do better at work, you contribute more and tend to be a great example to your family and friends and this is all to do with increased energy, a greater sense of wellbeing and a sense you are improving and progressing in life, and not stuck in a rut that can and will bring you down.
Find your long term reason to exercise, grab it, keep it tight and it will be with you always as your reason to exercise, eat well and your reason to keep on progressing and achieving your ambitions in life.
