You are all pumped up to join the gym, you book your membership,
you set a time for a personal fitness assessment and then you start
going faithfully every week. Great, terrific, fantastic right? Three
weeks pass, you just stop. Why? It really doesn't matter how many times
you join a gym or exercise program, if you haven't worked on the mind
your body will not follow. What do I mean? Let's take any goal you have
set your mind to, whether it is losing weight, spending more time with
family, find a job to name a few; you must have the mind set to build
the success plan to achieve. Have you attempted these goals before, what
went wrong, what is going to be different this time and who is your
support for your mind in order for you to reach success. There is no
personal trainer of the body that can prepare your mind in order for you
to stay faithful to your goal. If you were depressed before going to
the gym, you will be depressed after you go to the gym; you must work on
the inside in order to work on the outside.
This is also a common misconception when it comes to injuries at work. Think of a WSIB claim, I believe that over 50% of these claims are based on what was on the mind of the person when the accident happened rather then the accident itself. Interestingly enough rehab works on the physical rather then the mental health. The person goes back to work, and provisions are put in place so that the employee can sit and not hurt their sore back, whether the person is sitting or standing the person is still depressed or anxious. Now, if the rehab and therapy worked on the inside and discovered the cause of the depression or anxiety the individual would be ready to return to work and in many cases the back pain would also subside.
To work out life, life needs to pay attention to the mental health of individuals. Let's teach our children to say "I feel anxious about my test today", instead of "I have a stomach ache." Let's call it what it is.
Next time you head out to begin a new journey, take a check into your mental health. How are you heading into this new experience. If you are anxious, build in techniques to cope with anxiety; this is what will help you be successful in your journey. If you are depressed about your weight, find a coach that can work on your emotions that come with food addictions before and during the journey of a weight loss group. You can obtain any goal, or dream; start by checking in with your mental health, your mindset. Success is just around the corner.
