2 opposite approaches that can both work
There are a lot of theories & strategies about how to create change (transformations or behavior modification). One end of the spectrum focuses on massive, instant & intensive change, and the other end advocates for small, incremental & progressive steps. In the end, both can be effective or “right”, it just depends on you and where you’re currently at. I’ve tried both and see the value in each side. You just have to decide what’s right for you at this time. Maybe look at it like this: Life is ultimately a marathon…a long game with lots of repetition and “sticking with it”. However, there are short intervals within that longer race where it’s more like a sprint…very intense & with significant gains in a fraction of the time. So taking the long approach aligns with the boring, consistent repetitions, settling into your stride and paving yourself out. It’s equivalent to the tortoise in the famous race between the tortoise and the hare…slow & steady wins the race. But then sprint intervals are far more intensive, much faster pace done for shorter periods of time because it’s not really sustainable. At that rate you’ll eventually burn out unless you slow down again to recover and coast a bit. This is like being the hare….feverishly running until you need to stop and rest a bit before continuing on. All this to say a body or life transformation is quite the same. You can either pace yourself out with incremental adjustments and little consistent steps that build up over time, or go all in with a “balls to the wall” to-hell-with-the-haters and burn-the-boats almost reckless abandon. Both are good and viable approaches. BOTH CAN WORK. But either way, YOU MUST WORK. There’s no avoiding that fact. I’ve developed systems that can help you either way, you’ve just got to get off the fence and decide which approach you’re going to do…and then COMMIT to do what is necessary…DO WHAT’S REQUIRED. And the good thing is YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE. We can help you along the way.
