Are You Reasoning Out That Its Okay To Skip The Gym With Sharp Pangs Of Guilt In Your Heart?

I feel it necessary to say that I am enjoying life a great deal more than I did before 10 years and one among the numerous important reasons for my happiness is the positive changes that I have incorporated in my way of life.

I won't go into the gory details, but feel it sufficient to say that the work I've done to be healthy, fit and lively has been a great deal more than worthwhile, and that it's also made positivity and joy a whole lot easier and brought great results in other areas of my life.

During this I've also learnt a lot about the function of the mind in the search for health.

Sadly, for a lot of people, self-sabotage is a regular companion!

Almost all of us know someone who has bought a gym membership, been two times and somehow "forgotten" for the remaining year. "I'm too busy", some of them say, but not too busy to go to the pub, use up the afternoon window-shopping, or fill their daily TV quota. As a culture (perhaps as a species?!) we're conditioned to use excuses when we come across a gap between a given intention and what we in point of fact do, and we act as if on some level this works fantastically well for us.

But how will it be if all our cultural conditioning told us to say instead "Oh dear, I don't seem to be hitting the gym. There seems to be a conflict between my conscious and unconscious mind! I'd better get it fixed!"? A bit like "Oh look, we've run out of milk. I'll just visit the store and get some", rather than the elaborate and inefficient socio-linguistic avoidance ritual that is the trend.

I have to let you know that I am frequently going to the gym and I am liberated from any form of guilt. That's not to say that there are not any areas in my life where I'm making excuses and getting bad results (I wish!) But several years ago I made the decision that health was important, and I looked for and discovered tools that would overcome my tendency to opt out of my own wellbeing.

Luckily this isn't something that needs "strength of will" (which is in reality rare, and very hard to cultivate) - modern coaching technology bypasses the requirement to grit your teeth and sweat blood to achieve goals :)

Of course Unused Gym Membership Syndrome isn't the only health concern where the unconscious mind gets in our way.
How many overweight people feel - rightly - that they're losing out on a lot?
How many smokers would love to be free from the financial and self-esteem burdens their habit brings them? (Not to mention all that boring health stuff they inform about on the packets, of course.)
How many people would like to live in a world where real food tasted as good as Maccas, and was just as handy? Many people do in fact inhabit that universe.

Certainly you could merely say that health, fitness, energy and enthusiasm for life are "things that other individuals have". But you can choose for yourself.
