The condition called homeostasis resists change in any biological system, even if that change is ultimately beneficial.

It takes time, and repetition of behaviour (habits), to get your system accustomed to doing things differently. Use this knowledge to your advantage. As hard as it seems to get your butt out of bed in the morning to exercise, and consistently eat nutritious food in appropriate portions, once you have selected these new habits and done them over and over, it will be similarly difficult to go back to a less effective, less satisfying way of living.

Positive results won’t be immediate–your confidence and strength of mind will–but tangible positive results in your body will be slow and incremental and lasting.

If you make a commitment to what you really want, the results will come faster than you might expect–just not quite as fast as you would like. Stick with it. Persistence is key!

What If You Fail?

Failing is part of winning. Failing and making mistakes are the only way to make true progress in something new. Learning is about trying something, being alert to feedback and results, adjusting your course of action with your eye on the intended result, and moving forward by integrating this new useful information.

Properly evaluating and adapting to feedback is the distinguishing quality of a healthy dynamic system. The ability to adapt to change and try something that hasn’t been done before, is the mark of genius. Remember the old Chinese proverb and Einstein’s observation: “Insanity is doing the same thing in the same way & expecting a different outcome.” / “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

You Get Out What You Put In

Failure is normal at the beginning of something new or unfamiliar. Failure fades away into the background (or is unveiled as its true name: the impetus to improve) as you make an intelligent effort using your knowledge, directed toward achieving your desired outcome. Keep going until your successes far outnumber mistakes.

Expect to put in a lot of effort. You’ll value something more if you work harder for it. Hard work becomes ‘easy’ when you know what you want; knowing that your actions are aligned with your values and goals is much more satisfying than taking the easy road and sleep-walking through your days with no ups and no downs. Boring. If you want to be full of life, choose a life that actually fills you with a sense of adventure and challenge. Otherwise, what’s the point? Might as well go for it.

Kudos to you for doing something new. Take that step that moves you closer to your goal. Jump right into it if you want. The work that is needed to be done is easy and relatively simple, but you still have to do it. Anything new is likely to be uncomfortable at first. Perfect; that’s how you know you’re growing. It takes action and effort to overcome that initial discomfort to explore new things and be that bigger person. Just think, once you overcome this resistance bubble, you’re on a whole other level to which your body and mind will habituate. You’re making your habits work for you.

Again, be persistent. Put in a lot of effort, start hard, end harder. If you still don’t see what you want coming into view, what do you do? That’s easy. You stick to your goal. DO NOT GIVE UP. Change strategies, review what you are doing, assess what is working and what needs strengthening, then go do that. Try something new. Stay committed to your OUTCOMES for yourself, that lifestyle and those principles you stand for, and you will succeed. It’s only a matter of time and focus.
