The Only Constant is Change

I’ve found over the course of my fitness journey that the only constant is change.  How we deal with that change makes all of the difference.

We can get all jammed up, or torn up, or even give up, but change will keep coming.  

I used to wallow in change.  It gave me the excuse to eat what I wanted, skip workouts, feel sorry for myself.   Ha…those were the days of backsliding down the slippery slope to set-back!

Learning to keep it together when we want to fall apart is just as important as work-outs and nutrition.

And learning not just to keep it together but how to adapt so that future change doesn’t hit us like a sledge-hammer. 

I’ve learned to separate my emotions from the facts.  Instantly I feel more capable of adapting.  List the facts in black and white and tackle them one by one.

Sure feelings get hurt or ego gets bruised, but change is still coming.  So taking the emotion out and dealing with the remnants makes change a bit easier to swallow.

One of my favorite quotes by Maya Angelou:

If you don’t like something change it.  If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
