Find Your Fitness Inspiration
September 2, 2009 10:11 AM
By now, 30-50% of people have given up on their New Year’s Resolution. How about you? Did you set a goal that is strong enough and important enough for you to stick with it? Or, are you letting other things get in the way. Are you letting yourself get lower and lower on your priority list? It is easy to do for so many mothers. I did it myself for a few years after my children were born.
An honest self-assessment is a good place to start. How many of you know exactly what you want to achieve? Where are you now in your progress towards that goal? What is your plan to get from here to there? How many of you will settle for less or “good enough?”
I challenge you not to settle for less. Seek out people who are better than you, fitter than you, stronger than you. Then, keep an open mind and learn from them. These people may be a your neighbor, someone at your gym, someone you meet online or even an instructor on a DVD.
You might find being exposed to superior discipline and fitness levels will drive you to work harder than you thought possible. In time you’ll overcome your self-imposed limitations and make progress you didn’t think was possible. My challenge to you for this week is to find someone who inspires you to meet your fitness goals.
If your personal fitness is important to you, work as hard as you possibly can. It won’t be easy, it won’t happen overnight, but it will happen. Today, I am serving as your personal cheerleader. Yes, YOU! I know that YOU can do it!
