All too often, people will notice summer looming around the corner, and suddenly feel inspired enough to proclaim, their goals. That's the sound of danger music. Because to err is human but when someone's about to do something especially ridiculous, the director queues the danger music. Beginners yoga Orange County CA training goals should be practical, in line with one's long-term health objectives, and, most importantly, achievable. So, no reaching for the 300 pound barbell on your first visit.
Without rapidly made improvements to their physiques, most people are quick to throw in the towel and call it a day. Yet, the opposite also stands true: should they manage to achieve the body of their dreams, and in record time too, they're just as likely to quit at that point as the person in the first example who had not managed to make any real progress.
Then it is off to McDonald's for two celebratory Big Macs, washed down by a large Diet Coke, which they hope is big enough to cut a few calories off the burgers before they're digested. One can not really blame them. After all, they have a lifetime of bad habits compelling them toward the burgers. But with only a week invested into getting into shape, the new activity had not had the opportunity to take root within their subconscious minds. The minimum of fourteen days required to form a new habit had not been reached yet, so working out regularly still felt like a foreign concept to them.
Even the most reluctant newbie can be seen spitting fire and reaching for the heaviest weights they can find during their first week of training. But by the second week, the full-body aches and pains, commonly referred to as DOMS delayed onset muscle soreness, are being felt to the Nth degree. And being unable to lift even a fraction of the weight they did the week prior, they start second-guessing their willingness, and even desire, to finish up what is only the second week of their fitness regimen.
And, almost like Humpty Dumpty, they commit fitness suicide by leaping from the heights of their aspirations, while screaming, self destructive statements. Then all of their health goals come tumbling down. And all the fitness trainers and all friends could never put Humpty together again. Because poor Humpty had come to identify with self defeat way more than with any sense of accomplishment.
Had Humpty simply stuck to his plan, he would have gradually changed his habits, thereby literally restructuring his brain. His brains reward-centres would have been rewired to give him a sense of gratification every time he exerted some effort. Instead, he took the easy way out.
In order to rewire a brain, all that's required is its willingness to try something, anything. As long as whatever is being attempted is done consistently, and over a period of three weeks brainwashing's virtually assured. And why? Because the brain loves habit; it thrives on routine. For example, after several workout sessions of leaving the gym and feeling like superman, the brain comes to accept this as the naturally expected outcome of exercising.
But the stakes are high! With the subconscious mind being what usually motivates a person to take action; and the subconscious also being the realm of habit and instinct, it seems imperative that more people take the time, and make the effort, to develop healthier habits in their lives. After all, habits of behaviour are what come to define one's character. So, in that sense, everyone's given free reign to write their own life story. And based on the habitual behaviours of the characters involved, is it any surprise that so many life stories have sad endings?
