No matter where your start point is, this article will help you on your fitness journey without boasting clich\u00e9s or fad diets. Fitness can seem like a confusing world but we like to keep it simple at Restore. We have a few tips that will not only help you stay on your fitness path but you may even start to enjoy it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Progress is defined as forward or onward movement toward a destination. \u00a0The destination for most of us is growth. We want to grow stronger, faster or simply become healthier. Growth is a key component to success in your fitness journey and in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What is Growth Mindset?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fitness is just as much of a mental exercise as a physical one. Decades of research has been compiled by Carol Dweck Stanford Ph.D. which resulted in the form of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mindsetonline.com\/whatisit\/about\/index.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growth Mindset<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people have a fixed mindset; the idea that abilities and talents are set in stone. Dr. Dweck found that mindset greatly influences behavior. People with Growth Mindset are more likely to achieve because they believe that abilities can be developed with work. Steps that you can take towards growth mindset are mentally preparing to work for your results and visualizing success. Realize that you are not set in stone. You can learn and grow with the right mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Find Your Why<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are 3 parts to a journey; the start, the effort and the destination. Your starting point is where you are at now. The most important questions to ask yourself is \u201cWhy am I here?\u201d If you are on this fitness journey for any external reason most often, that reason is going to change or be insufficient in the long run. Sometimes \u201cLife gets in the way\u201d of goals that we want to accomplish. An important step to take at combating that phrase is having an internal answer to your Why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have your<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/personal-growth\/purpose-is-life-changing-find-your-why-210b2dda3deb\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">purpose\/ your why<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your behavior will change monumentally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The example Why \u201cI want to become healthier so I can live longer and have more time with my loved ones\u201d will always beat the temporary reasons like \u201cI am here because someone said I should\u201d or \u201cI want to look better for this person\u201d. Temporary reasons will not be sufficient fuel for your journey. \u00a0Find your internal why. Make that permanent change in your life and hold onto it. Now that you have the mental and personal steps, it is time to take the physical one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Just Show Up<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have the keys to succeed, now put them together. Show up, take that first step out, it will lead to more steps. When things don\u2019t go as planned reflect on all the progress you have made. Keep taking steps and moving forward in your fitness journey. Put in the effort in and when it gets tough, remember your Why. Your Why will fuel you through the toughest of times. As your mindset grows so will you. As you grow closer towards your goals make new ones. Keep taking steps and enjoy the journey!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are reading this, you are headed in the right direction.
