So as most of you know, I went to Nashville last month for Beachbody's national convention called Summit. It is the most amazing event where people who's purpose is to help others get together, share wonderful ideas/trainings and completely refill your cup before you go back home.
This year one of the speakers was talking about completing a workout program in it's entirety when we returned home. And they were telling us not to start over if we hit some bumps in the road. Now, I for one, am a habitual "starter over" so I probably turned a little red (those who know me know how a can get flushed in a split second). In a room of about 14k people, I was feeling like they were talking right to me.
But then the best example was given...when you begin a hike/climb up a mountain, if you didn't like how fast you went or your progress in the first few hours, would you start over???
Um...NO way!! That seems like a no-brainer. There's no way that you would go back down the mountain and start over.
What you would do is re-commit to the mission of what you're doing and your goals of getting to the top. Rest, regroup and then get going again. I kept thinking, "why have I not heard this before?"
It made total sense to me and from that point forward, I decided I wouldn't re-start a program after a couple of weeks (like I have been doing time and time again this past year). I would continue to climb and fight for my goals.
So I encourage you to do the same. Keep climbing, keep fighting because your goals are worth the effort. Even if you must rest, regroup and start from where you left off, but don't stop to only begin the climb again.
Oh, and don't forget to enjoy the views along the way...enjoy the journey because before you know it, you'll the at the top achieving your goal and ready to set new ones.
