these changing times........

      Things move too quickly for me sometimes.
      In my business, you'll get left behind if you don't keep up with the changing times. Today's technologies, the ever increasing desire for instant gratification, the ever increasing pressure to have an impact and a strong presence online and on social medias. I fear that I am behind the times. I'm a self proclaimed computer and technology dunce. I spend as little time on the computer as possible. However, in order for me to generate an online presence, I need to utilize these technologies and I need to utilize them well. I'll keep working on all that.
      But, let's slow down for a minute. Let's remember what we're doing here. Life moves quickly and if we don't slow down, if we don't have patience, we're gonna miss everything. Let me relate this idea to health and fitness practices. We are inundated daily with the latest and greatest diet or exercise plans, all of which leave out what I consider to be the most important aspect of change which is: you can't undo a lifetime's worth of bad habits in 10 days (or whatever the latest gimmicky product claims). So, what does that mean for the individual looking to make a healthy change? Well, it means patience and understanding are the first steps to making long lasting changes.
      Have patience with the process and take the time to understand how to make the process of making a lasting change can work best for you. We're all different, our needs are all different and our processes are all different.
      My goal is to aid you in that process, to help you understand that it might take a year, it might take longer ,it might take a lot of trial and error, and that is absolutely OK. In my experience, it's the time and the work that must go into making a change that can be the most difficult part of it all. And, as much as we'd rather not admit it, no matter how fast the world changes, that won't. It will continue to take time and work to make lifestyle changes that will last.
      As much as I need to catch up with the technologies, I will always be a bigger proponent of a 'slow and steady, wins the race' approach to health and fitness goals. Don't miss out on experiencing making a healthy change that will stay with you forever by opting for a quick fix that will most likely not last.
