Here is a tip you should know about. Psychologists speak about the extreme
flexibility of our body as well as our mind. These are not rigid. We can tune
them into different ways, into ways that we want them to behave. Especially,
if we do something repeatedly, they are embossed into our mind and then
that thing becomes a habit. We need to realize this tendency of our body and
use it to build constructive habits in it all the time.
For example, if you go out for a jog early in the morning for a few days at a
stretch, then it will soon become a habit that you will not be able to shake
out of. This could become a habit for life, and you can see how constructive
that habit could be. Maybe you need to plan your life out that way.
For most exercising habits, 3 weeks is ample time. If you do something
repeatedly over a period of 3 weeks—or give it a month if you want to make
sure—then you will be able to convert it into a habit, and then you won’t be
able to break out of that habit!
Try it out… this is something that really needs to be tried out.
