What does being in shape have to do with success?
Why do some people get obsessed with diets and fitness? Why do some constantly check if they're losing weight, While others want to gain? Why do some eat 5-6 times a day and go to the gym almost every day? Why do they chug water like it's going out of style?!
If you have worked hard to get in shape, then you know about all the other advantages and positive changes it brings in your life. This is just one of the steps you have to take to reach success and the beauty of this journey is that once you are on the road, you can’t go back. You just keep moving on, leveling up, achieving goals, aiming higher and dreaming bigger.
Almost all clients I've spoken to during the fitness consultation as Austin Mobile Trainer all have very similar fitness goals.
Confidence:
Those who aren’t confident often have problems communicating in the work place and in social situations. If you lack confidence, it’s difficult to speak in front of both large and small groups. It’s also difficult to speak with conviction to your colleagues. It can keep you from meeting new people and from meeting a significant other
Will
Getting the body you want requires a lot of time, dedication, hard work, patience, food restrictions, doing things you don’t want but you know you have to (like going for a jog instead of sleeping one more hour). What can help you build your willpower better than that?!!
Results
Seeing results will be the turning point of your journey to success because for the first time you will realize that you can actually achieve something and improve yourself. This will motivate you to work even harder, accomplish more and you will believe in yourself more than ever. This will affect every other aspect of your life and you will soon see big changes.
Habit
After all success is all about habits. We become what we repeatedly do and think and things like going to the gym, having healthy breakfast, eating super foods and other things we do daily, will eventually create the habit of building habits. Then we will start getting up early, learning something new every day, go to bed earlier, speak in a better manner, read and write more, etc.
Better Living
Eating more often, cutting down processed foods, working out and drinking plenty of water will keep you in the best physical and mental condition. This will make you think clearer, be more productive, active and healthy, live longer and happier and with all that, your chances of succeeding are better.
Focus
Sport and healthy food help you concentrate. You focus on your goals – which is one of the most important characteristics of leaders and successful people – and make reasonable decisions
So you see there is a lot more in working on your body. People who try to improve it may seem obsessed, but are actually determined. You may think they have no other interests, but this is just their passion that revels many others. So don’t judge them, try to understand them, admire their dedication and learn from them. They know what they are doing and it is much more than eating right and exercising – they are developing their body, mind and soul.
