Discover a meaningful new goal! Accepting missed sessions or setbacks indicates a lack of purpose. I've experienced this too, and it's okay. But if you're anything like me, you hate stagnation in life. To move forward, take a moment to deeply reflect on why you want to pursue something and connect it to a high-value aspect of your life. For instance, you might aim to lose weight to be a role model for your kids or enhance your self-confidence by showcasing your physique on stage. Set a new goal or challenge and keep your reason in mind every single day.
Once you've identified your new goal, it's time to develop routines and habits, reverse-engineering your path to success. Just as with any ambitious endeavor, you can't jump from zero to a hundred instantly. Imagine wanting to become a professional pianist—you would start with the basics, dedicating a mere 10-15 minutes to practice each day. Additionally, manage your expectations; transforming your physique, like mastering the piano, takes years, not just a few months. Embrace it as a journey, celebrating small victories along the way. As you gain momentum and achieve weekly wins, your confidence will grow, and you'll become more adept at tackling greater challenges.
This is crucial! Often, individuals attempting to transform their bodies dive in headfirst and quickly become frustrated, losing motivation after just a few weeks. It's no surprise. Imagine trying to learn a complex symphony without grasping the fundamentals of playing the piano—you'd likely quit after a few days out of sheer frustration.
That's where a coach can make all the difference. Transforming your physique is a skill. You need knowledge of nutrition, understanding what fuels your body's growth, familiarity with exercise techniques and training principles, awareness of recovery strategies, and insight into how your body responds. Just as I would hire a teacher or coach to fast-track my progress in learning to play the piano or even a basic skill like driving, if I were serious about making a change, I would seek guidance.
If you're genuinely committed to making a change but unsure of how to get there or when to implement the necessary changes, it's time to seek help. Visit my Instagram page and fill out the form in my bio to embark on your transformative journey.
