Awareness – A Key Factor in Achieving Fitness and Health Aim(s)

ONE OF THE MOST important factors for living fit is awareness, knowing and understanding what you are doing, and the how and why behind it. To fully understand this concept it is important to keep in mind the following three notions:

1. Be determined 2. Be devoted 3. Be disciplined when it becomes difficult To be able to be determined, devoted and disciplined it is important to believe in yourself and your way of life. Be persistent even when change is slow; take care of your self-confidence to stay on the best course for yourself. Through a process of psychophysical and emotional development, you will be able to use many techniques for taking care of yourself. With such techniques as aim-setting, relaxation, imagery, confident self-talk, concentration and focus, you too can move beyond what may have been barriers to your success. If you have psychophysical boundaries and barriers, you must learn what is involved in identifying them, exploring their meaning, and initiating a change that will decrease their impact. Your first strategy will be to identify and isolate the origin of obstacles preventing you from maintaining your effort. Your first aim is to follow the 8 action tasks listed below: a) Place a journal by your bedside and only write in it before you go to bed and upon rising in the morning. b) Carry a small mirror with you at all times. c) Know your daily commitment to your aim(s). Are you committed today and why? d) Explore boundaries and barriers. How are they preventing you from maintaining your effort? e) Persist. Are you on target, if you are not, why not? f) Action planning. Make sure that you list what, when, where, why and how you are going to be successful. g) Let your purpose guide your actions. How are you doing this? h) Believe—do you, and why?

You are to write on all 8 aims mentioned above before you got to bed. When you awake in the morning before you get out of bed, take the mirror and read what you wrote last night to yourself. If you are open to challenging yourself, you will begin to understand that believing in yourself and your way of life persisting even when change is slow, taking care of yourself and thinking independently involves mental, physical and emotional efforts.

By removing the constant exposure to both internal and external negative influences that take away your positive beliefs you will be able to achieve your aim(s).
