Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday!
Spent the last few days reviewing my notes and trying to wrap my mind around some of the concepts that I'm just not "getting." Going to stretch, do my back exercises then head off to the library. I can study just as well at home but I need to get out of the house.
Thoughts on motivation/comfort zones...
I mentioned earlier how I struggled with shyness. As an adult, still, I gaze in wonder at people for whom it comes so easy, "it" being that easiness that exists between people that has always seemed so foreign to me.
So, to bring this back around to fitness, how do you challenge a client? How do you keep it challenging and enjoyable? What if they have unrealistic expectations? "When are my arms going to get bigger?"
We are not who we were, we are who we choose to become.
A man went to the doctor. "Every time I drink tea, my eye hurts."
He was leaving the spoon in the cup.
"How am I contributing to my own suffering and how can I end it?"
You can be in the middle of chaos and be calm. It's a choice. You can make yourself happy or you can make yourself miserable. The amount of work is the same.
More to come...
