We often hear that getting fit and healthy is a sacrifice, and that's true—but there's more to it. Let’s dive into this concept and explore the deeper levels of this journey.
The Present You vs. The Future You
Sacrifice means giving up something in the present for a better future. In the context of fitness, it means the present you wants to indulge in a tasty treat, but you sacrifice that momentary pleasure for the future you, who will be fitter, healthier, and happier.
The Next Level: Finding Joy in the Journey
But there's another level beyond this initial sacrifice. When you reach this next level, the idea of sacrifice disappears. Why? Because you start to genuinely enjoy the healthy choices you're making. Exercising and eating well are no longer sacrifices; they become activities you look forward to and derive joy from.
At this stage, both the present you and the future you benefit simultaneously. You're not just pushing through workouts or begrudgingly passing on dessert—you’re enjoying the process and the results.
Consistency is Key
Reaching this level of enjoyment in your fitness journey requires consistency and doing things the right way. It’s important to look forward to this point where it no longer feels like a struggle. Instead, it’s just something you love doing. ☺️
Painting the Bigger Picture
I like to paint this picture because I want everyone to know what’s at the end of the tunnel if they pursue their fitness journey consistently and correctly. Yes, it’s a journey with its ups and downs. You’ll stumble and face setbacks, but there’s a point where it all becomes second nature. When you experience the joy of being healthy, fit, and striving to be the best version of yourself, not just for you but for your family, loved ones, and legacy.
The Golden Ring
I call this period the “golden ring.” It’s that moment when the struggle fades, and joy takes over. To illustrate this, I have a simple story to share that happened the other week when I went to a concert with my boys. It perfectly encapsulates this concept of the golden ring and how it manifests in real life. Perhaps I’ll share it next week.
Keep Pushing Forward
Remember, the journey to fitness and health is not just about the end goal but enjoying the path you take to get there. Each step, each healthy choice, brings you closer to a version of yourself that doesn’t see healthy living as a sacrifice but as a fulfilling and joyful part of life.
Conclusion
So, as you start this week, think about the long-term benefits and the joy you can find in the journey. Look forward to that golden ring moment, and keep pushing forward. Your future self will thank you.
