Do we take note of our reactions when something makes us angry, frustrated, happy, sad or emotional?
Could developing a habit to take a
deep breath and thinking through your reaction be the pattern interrupt you need?
Would this put us in touch with REALITY and away from the reaction formed by an outdated or incorrect auto-response from an old experience?
This is
all part of growing older and wiser.
We can apply this to improving our health journey:
Where we are now is an exact result of our responses to the experiences we have been through. We are the sum of all this, no more or no
less.
Obstacles, struggles, disappointment, loss and are negative experiences that we all have to deal with.
Think back to these moments, how you dealt with them and most importantly what happened afterwards.
I'll bet you came out fighting, often ended up in a better situation eventually and are stronger for it now.
Getting fitter and healthier is full of these little ups and downs.
These 'dips' in
motivation, willpower, energy and progress ALWAYS come before an upwards improvement.
