The Secret To Lasting Physical 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 greatest most challenging journeys you will ever go on is seeing what your body is capable of. Maybe you are in shape, wholly out of shape, or merely looking to lose some weight. Nevertheless, developing a body that you can be proud, one that is healthy, and allows you to really adore every possible last tiny inch of it really is a dazzling journey to travel down.

So what is the secret behind making an enduring change with your body?

Consistency and commitment.

There's nothing else like coming to the table every single 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'll become lackadaisical and daunted by the task at hand. As an alternative understand that you are competing with yourself and yourself alone. Will there be times on your journey where you try and fail? Yes, many times. But every time you do, you must come back with a commitment to achieving something that you really wanted. Consistency will keep you in the game and on the field every day. Without it, you'll suffer the the unavoidable and bad reality of many new years resolutioners who give up each and every single year on making the body of their dreams because they are missing the power to keep on coming back time and again.

Commitment also is evoked, but not the commitment you're probably thinking of. In our world, we are fed this concept that everything must take place at this time and if it doesn't happen right now, it's not worthwhile. Your body is going to change throughoutthe years, so why don't you make a lifetime dedication to keeping healthy? Is that a sexy sellable idea? Not so much. But is it something that could really change the course of your life? Totally.

When you make a promise to keeping your body healthy throughout your entire life, you may eventually reach whatever goal you wish. It is all about seeing the big picture than just the few months in front of you until the summer. It's about developing something you can be pleased with forever. For me, that concept changed the course of my life as I was able to finally hit my health goals after 12 years of struggling with my self-image and food issues. But as soon as I modified my perspective of what I was attempting to accomplish, everything I had wished for came to me. So try it on for size and see if it works for you. Make a lifelong and relentless commitment to staying healthy and watch how much your body will change in the short term also.

Bring some commitment and consistency to the table, in all sides of your life, and things will change significantly.
