Hello! Dear friends, today we are talking about serious stuff
In this blog I want to start with a short imaginary game.
Let's imagine a world where everyone is in a special discipline, determined in perseverance, and with productive and healthy hobbies.
Some people would say that it is the “perfect world” from their perspective, but in life, the exactly "perfection" is not the most essential thing in our lives, realistically speaking, it is not even possible.
However, if we are to give an answer, from my point of view, the true value of the aspect of life, is to remain determined in what you actually started.
Introducing a context, let's talk about ambition and dedication in working on our physique.
The beginning has always been the hardest, and starting a hobby like going to the gym,
is a difficult challenge to discipline.
Like any beginning in a new chapter, you will always have the feeling of anxiety, uncertainty, and lack of confidence in your knowledge.
On the first day of going to the gym, the first thing you will do unconsciously will be, It is comparing yourself with other people in the gym, realizing that you are not the best in physical shape there, maybe not even by a long shot (assuming that is your inner critic).To avoid such challenges in our lives, is to become aware of focusing on personal progress, not on comparing ourselves to others.
Everyone has their own rhythm. 😊
Some strategies for persevering in remaining determined to have an active sports life, is to understand that an athlete will not always have a good workout. They will also have less good workouts, but one thing that makes the athlete being an athlete, it is the discipline that keeps them being what they wanted to be.
A quote I heard one day and never left my mind was:
"Don't be discouraged by your first awkward attempts. Every beginning is hard, but your reaction to those feelings of insecurity will carve the path to your success."
Returning to the idea of a "Perfect" world where everything would be ideal, without discomfort, I can say concretely that, it is simply an illusion. Overcoming challenges and reacting correctly to new experiences, makes us stronger and gives us satisfaction in moving forward on our paths.
That was the blog for today. I hope you enjoyed my blog and I made you being more conscious about "Perfection".
Greetings and see you at the gym!
This is very true. The struggle of going to the gym and seeing so many people in better shape than me is a hurdle to get over. On top of that, I often feel very self-conscious about how I'm using the equipment or my routine, as if anyone would actually care enough about what I'm doing when I know they're there for themselves as well lol. I think one of the main things people are really driven by is ambition. It's what makes us human; we always want something more. If we had a "perfect" world where everything was ideal and easy, we wouldn't have anything to strive for. That's when the true chaos starts.
