There's a place in your mind you reach when you want to get fit. Then there's a place in your mind you reach when you start doing it. And then there's another you reach when you make it a habit and it takes effect on your lifestyle and physic.
So there's the weight you want to lose if you're heavy, there's the weight you want to gain if you're a twerp, and there's the physic you want to achieve if you're somewhere in between.
So how do you get somewhere with this mind set? There's a lot to it. I'll begin with the habits of good and the habits of bad that many are quite unfamiliar with but ought to be.
To begin, you have bad habits. I'll talk about these first. A bad habit is something hardwired into the mind. It's the design of the natural man to follow bad habits, and they're easy to fall into. There's a thing, you call falling out of a good habit falling out because it's easy to leave it, and then you call breaking a bad habit breaking it because bad habits bind you.
The psychology behind bad habits is simple enough. You fall into it without an issue. Bad habits are easy, because the mind looks for something easy, so it's easy to fall in, but it's harder to keep it up without even realizing it.
You may get tired from a healthy lifestyle, but that's supposed to happen. If you over consume food, don't sleep enough, sit around too much, your body becomes lazy and gets tired from the energy you consume daily because it can't feed it enough and you're not restoring it properly.
Being overweight causes discharge of too much energy because you also have excess body mass to carry around and that's hard on the system. Everything from your bones to your heart having to pump all of that blood everywhere. It's easy sitting around to your mind because you don't have to push and work mentally. But physically in the places you don't have to conceive thoughts and such, your mind and body are in overload.
So on that, I'll go to good habits.
Good habits take work to keep up, and work pays off with time. It takes a while to get into good habits, you don't fall, you climb. Climbing is good for the body, did I mention that?
A good habit requires time, dedication, and motivation. Your personal dedication should be enough for your motivation, consider it a concept...
To work yourself into a good habit, you work one step at a time. The first step would be wanting to get fit. The second step is getting the idea of what you will be doing. The third? How to start. The fourth is when to start. Fifth is starting. Sixth is doing something. And they keep going on as you move into changing your habits and physic. It's all hard stuff, working there, getting there, and staying there.
Once your there, it's easy to stay there. Progression feels good, motivation is fun, and strength is something that you don't use when you open the mayo jar.
So your mindset all begins with thinking about it, and then step by step as you build yourself up, you notice changes in how you feel, look, and see yourself. Perspective changes, life becomes brighter, your world looks better, and even on rainy days the sun shines.
The trail to fitness, is learning how to strengthen your body, anywhere and in any way. Step along, there's stones and such to cross, but you work your way over and around them, and you get better with each one.
A day can be changed with just a little bit of physical exertion and training for a few minutes, makes all the different, you're not tired anymore, and you feel better.
Join the trail, it's been tread on many times, left, and found again, lost forever, and found until death, and will stay around for forever. It's never too late to do your body good, and you can do it that good now. Let the light of fitness shine on your day, it fixes many ailments and changes your body to something you love and cherish because you take such good care of it.
You can turn rocks into gold, and you can do the same with your body.
