All too often, people will notice summer looming around the corner, and suddenly feel inspired enough to proclaim, their goals. That's the sound of danger music. Because to err is human but when someone's about to do something especially ridiculous, the director queues the danger music. Beginners yoga Orange County CA training goals should be practical, in line with one's long-term health objectives, and, most importantly, achievable. So, no reaching for the 300 pound barbell on your first visit.
Without rapidly made improvements to their physiques, most people are quick to throw in the towel and call it a day. Yet, the opposite also stands true: should they manage to achieve the body of their dreams, and in record time too, they're just as likely to quit at that point as the person in the first example who had not managed to make any real progress.
Because whether they have reached their ideals or not, the reason most people fall short of the finish line, settling for less, and can't seem to keep that fire burning under their donkeys, can be summed up in one word: habit. It takes about two weeks some say three in order to gain or lose a habit.
Even the most reluctant newbie can be seen spitting fire and reaching for the heaviest weights they can find during their first week of training. But by the second week, the full-body aches and pains, commonly referred to as DOMS delayed onset muscle soreness, are being felt to the Nth degree. And being unable to lift even a fraction of the weight they did the week prior, they start second-guessing their willingness, and even desire, to finish up what is only the second week of their fitness regimen.
Moments later, and in vivid detail, they'd be able to tell you all about the flame and how it felt. Because, in their mind's eye, they were able to see the flame and even imagine how it would feel. And to such an extent that they could feel it burning them before they have even come within inches of it. Individual conditioned themselves to place the pain before the gain. And since the pain was given higher priority in their minds, they were unable to see beyond it to actually achieve the gains to be made from the exercise.
Had Humpty simply stuck to his plan, he would have gradually changed his habits, thereby literally restructuring his brain. His brains reward-centres would have been rewired to give him a sense of gratification every time he exerted some effort. Instead, he took the easy way out.
Because all things in nature follow a set pattern form follows function, as they say so even eggs need to be gestated over a certain period of time before their new and improved selves are ready and able to come bursting forth, straight onto the catwalk, strutting with a twist in their hips, wiggling their new tailfeathers at the world. But should one quit before having reached 21 days or 14 days, for the bare minimum of doing an activity, the activity would still feel foreign; not really a part of one's lifestyle. So, it would be easy to stop doing it and forget about it like it never happened.
So, the next time that person hits the gym, they get rewarded with a small burst of dopamine one of the brain's feel good neurotransmitters. Eventually, usually after several repetitions, this behavioural pattern becomes etched into the brain's neural pathways forming a new habit. Addictions are formed the same way. And considering how research done at Duke University found that 45 percent of people's day to day actions are the product of habit, as opposed to conscious decision making, pushing through that second week of a workout regimen could mean the difference between still boasting a chiselled 6-pack at sixty, to succumbing to a fatal cardiac arrest at forty. A person only ever reaps what they've sown.
