Do you remember those golden days when you used to run miles, or walk for hours, or do activities the entire day and still never ran out of stamina. Were you different or did you lose your super powers down the years.
Things have changed, haven’t they? Today running a mile or walking more than an hour might seem like climbing a mountain. But the worst part about it is feeling demotivated and disappointed in yourself and knowing the only person to blame is you.
What did you do or what you didn’t that made you different?
To start off, you’ve neglected yourself every single day and maybe thrived on food, entertainment or mere pleasure. Maybe this is the reason why you did not realise the changes taking place in your body and suddenly one fine day when you stand in front of the mirror, you don’t recognise yourself.
But is neglecting your stamina directly proportional to feeling tired or making you overweight? The answer is yes!
The reason you are less active today in comparison to your better self years ago, is only because you stopped pushing yourself every single day and stopped measuring your performance every week.
Do not feel disheartened, because if you are less active today, maybe a month from now you can make better changes if you want to.
Choose whatever activity suits you best whether it is walking, cycling, running, sprinting or even skipping. But just make sure that you’re consistent every single day and you increase the intensity of your activity every week.
Your decision to get better every week will keep you motivated and in no time you will once again be in your best possible shape and feel more active.
Just go out and get going!
