Getting Back As Much As You Give With Beginners Yoga Orange County CA

By Carol Rogers


Whether joining the local gym, or pumping iron from the comfort of their homes, all experienced fitness enthusiasts know that gym training need not be physically draining. Endorphin high, anyone? No, really. With the right attitude, a well rounded diet, and realistic expectations, within a few months even the laziest couch potato would think twice before missing a beginners yoga Orange County CA session not when their newly-visible abs are at stake.

Without rapidly made improvements to their physiques, most people are quick to throw in the towel and call it a day. Yet, the opposite also stands true: should they manage to achieve the body of their dreams, and in record time too, they're just as likely to quit at that point as the person in the first example who had not managed to make any real progress.

Because whether they have reached their ideals or not, the reason most people fall short of the finish line, settling for less, and can't seem to keep that fire burning under their donkeys, can be summed up in one word: habit. It takes about two weeks some say three in order to gain or lose a habit.

Most people's motivations are like the wind: it merely comes and goes, blowing to and fro. And being more captivated by outside appearances than their inner-drives, gladiators-in-training are prone to dropping the gauntlet at the first sign of opposition. They had not endured their trial by fire yet, reflexively pulling back from the flame before they even had the chance to touch it.

Moments later, and in vivid detail, they'd be able to tell you all about the flame and how it felt. Because, in their mind's eye, they were able to see the flame and even imagine how it would feel. And to such an extent that they could feel it burning them before they have even come within inches of it. Individual conditioned themselves to place the pain before the gain. And since the pain was given higher priority in their minds, they were unable to see beyond it to actually achieve the gains to be made from the exercise.

For a person to start enjoying an activity that they'd otherwise dread, the first step is to rewire their brains. Simple. The process involves establishing new dopamine pathways, allowing for new and unique clusters of synapsis and neural connections to be formed but, in the absence of any neurosurgeons, perhaps a more down-to-earth approach would be more appropriate?

Simply visualizing the intended outcome would have inspired enough motivation to overcome, and endure, any temporary discomfort encountered. Keeping one's eye on the prize is simply a means to an end. Professional athletes do it. Navy Seals do it. Successful businessman, do it. Even goddesses of victory like Nike and just do it. So why does not the average person simply do it? The short answer, it requires some discipline. And perhaps only a couple weeks of it before it becomes habit. Easy enough for the superior man, but for the average person, it can be a bit of a chore.

But the stakes are high! With the subconscious mind being what usually motivates a person to take action; and the subconscious also being the realm of habit and instinct, it seems imperative that more people take the time, and make the effort, to develop healthier habits in their lives. After all, habits of behaviour are what come to define one's character. So, in that sense, everyone's given free reign to write their own life story. And based on the habitual behaviours of the characters involved, is it any surprise that so many life stories have sad endings?
