Volcanoes lie dormant, in most cases, for decades.
Massive piles of rock sitting static on the outside; but full of a brimming fire in the underbelly.
The catalyst of earth plates shifting creates a motivation that causes the mammoth structure to erupt with a force that shakes cities and an energy palpable for miles.
But as quickly as it started, the volcano retreats to its dormancy once again, almost immediately.
Topographic science notwithstanding, the reasoning is simple...
The motivating forces that compel these ancient structures to burst are completely and entirely unsustainable.
The chaotic and unbridled enthusiasm put forth by the volcano upon eruption requires far too much energy to maintain and the deviation from the laws of tranquility that exist in nature too strong to allow the madness to continue for any length of time.
In terms of the natural world, that's a good thing.
But in the perspective of your fitness goals, it's very, very bad...
Does it sound familiar?
You've finally reached a point of 'fed up'.
The motivating forces are igniting the fire that lives inside of you to want more for yourself.
After weeks, months or years of inactivity and dormant lifestyle, you awake with a burst of action.
Compelled and determined to make 'this time' the attempt in which you finally reach your fitness goals, you opt for a regime hefty in dietary discipline and abundant exercise.
But just as quickly as the motivation got you off the coach, it disappears.
And you find yourself nestled back in front of the TV every night, frustrated and defeated (yet again), but pledging different.... Next time.
Fitness sustainability is about taking small bites.
One step at a time.
Progression over time.
The inspiration to succeed and reach your goals with never dwindle when you carry the perspective that it is a marathon and not a sprint to the finish.
Take your time.
Enjoy the process.
And forever, remember my critical less on 'Kaizen'....
