Friday Mar 04, 2016
In
order to become what you want to be, you have to embrace the process of
change. In his book "Intentional Living", author and motivational
speaker John Maxwell discusses that when
starting your journey of change you should "Dream
big, but start small". This is a very important concept in the world
of health and fitness because all too often people jump into programs
that are a dramatic change from their normal life. This can create a
lot of stress and friction resulting in the type of failures that cause
them to lose faith in their ability to change.
In this episode Coach Brian talks about the idea of building up Momentum when making healthy lifestyle changes. The simple process of setting small manageable goals upon which you can generate positive momentum could ultimately be the difference between success and failure.
