For THAT
You get what you train. This sounds obvious because it is obvious, and yet we forget. If we train our muscles to get bigger, we get bigger muscles. If we train our bodies to be more flexible, we bend better.
There are limits: It would take an act of God to make me a basketball player. I’m not made out of whatever it is that gymnasts are made out of (superballs?). But, the point stands.
What do you want? Who do you want to emulate? Do you want to be like Serena Williams? Or Yuan Yuan Tan? Is your goal more Dwayne Johnson or Haile Gebreselassie? Let’s train for THAT.
Change
We all have changes we would like to make or that we should make. One of the things we have to figure out is where we are on a scale of readiness to change. There are five stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.
In the first three stages, the work that goes on is mostly about education and consciousness-raising. Action and maintenance are where the change really happens and where it becomes part of our lives forever.
We need to think about where we are now. Do we need more information? Do we need to consider options? Or do we need to get moving? Wherever we are, we can work together to get better!
