Self-Efficacy And Motivation
As the calendar keeps turning and time slips by, it's easy to fall into thinking that you just spin your wheels and your goals are out of reach. Incorporating a workout into your lifestyle carves out a space where you continually make incremental progress and achieve success. Set an objective, work toward it, achieve it. What could be more empowering than that?
This doesn't just apply to capital-G Goals like total body transformations or marathon "finisher" medals. Every set, every mile, every sweaty minute, every time you choose to walk into the gym represents an established and reached goal. People who commit themselves to this process can approach other challenges in life confident in their ability to persevere, to work, and to break big projects into smaller, achievable steps.
In time, this translates to something millions aspire to have: a healthy lifestyle. People who take care of their mind and body with good nutrition and exercise are more positive and in control of their lives. If the alternative is the sort of negative, fatalistic frame of mind that we all complain about when it crosses our paths, then the choice is clear. Exercise, and live!
