Your Show, Photo shoot,
the Wedding, or perhaps your Weight Loss Challenge is over. Whatever fitness goal
has been met, the task has been accomplished: Now what?
It is perhaps at
this point that the challenge truly begins. How does one transition from a
focused goal oriented program to a healthy and manageable daily routine?
How do we start
living, enjoying more free time yet not lose everything we worked so hard for?
More importantly
how do we deal with the mental games that ensue or the fear of “Slipping back”
without being obsessed?
All the work, dedication, the prepping,
training, everyone cheering you on with encouraging compliments, and now the
time has come to relax.
We begin to feel
the need to give excuses as to “Why” we are not depleted, in contest shape, or
photo shoot ready. As if that look is attainable year round.
Is there a way to
avoid this?
The cliché
response would be “How about acceptance”
Which sounds
great…however it is our perseverance and goal setting that makes us who we are.
It is our expectations, dreams and hopes that create the want and desire to move
forward. The initial goals of the
show, photo shoot, wedding or weight loss challenge that were set and attained, now have become a platform to reach for new possibilities.
My challenge is
this: to see my current physical and emotional state not as a set of deficiencies
but as space opening up to new potential…
