Improvements in any metric of life, be it health related or otherwise, often come as a process of strategy and commitment. Your strategy is the actions you undertake, and your commitment is the long term continuation of these actions.
Strategy + Commitment = Results.
There are no shortage of improvements in the exercise and health field. Changes in fitness, body composition, blood chemistry, mental health, injury…
Improvements in these measures increase confidence, and sometimes, the confidence pendulum swings too far the other way. This overconfidence tends to affect the memory. The individual forgets the hard work and commitment it took to achieve their successes. They forget the strategy and they forget the long term continuation of this strategy.
Consider the person who loses weight, then lets their commitment waver. Or the athlete who wins a championship and forget the hard work it took to get there. Or the injured shoulder that returns when its owner gets lazy with their rehabilitation.
The lesson is. If something has worked, or something is working, KEEP DOING IT. Remember what it took to get there.
