Endless Personal Records by The Dysania Concept (2023)
Whether in gyms, wellness centres or health clubs, and whether you train to better your health, become a bodybuilder or prepare your body for a sport, Gymgoers are devoted minds encouraged by improving their inner and outer health. So, in this edition of The Mindsets, we’ll explore the qualities, virtues and skills Gymgoers have that enable them to commit daily to bettering their health through the proposition and accomplishment of objectives regarding stamina, weight and much more. As Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
1. Persistent
Gymgoers must be persistent to achieve their goals. In a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, a health psychologist, Phillippa Lally, discovered that forming a habit takes, on average, two months. Additionally, they uncovered that missing one or two days during the formation process did not truly affect the behaviour change. Hence, missing a day or two while building a habit and messing up the schedule is not enough to disturb your progress but rather an excuse. Regarding this study, Gymgoers are an outstanding example. All Gymgoers had their first day in the gym. They all missed some days during their first few months, but their persistence guided them towards their goal despite the challenges. Similarly, we must understand the difficulties of shaping a new habit or behaviour. But we must also comprehend how common these difficulties are, and through our persistence, we can overcome them and begin to shape the life we want.
2. Accountable
Gymgoers lean on their accountability to remain realistic within their chase. Beyond the persistence to commit and deliver on their gym schedule, Gymgoers are true to their decisions. If they can’t make a gym session because of their work or miss a training day because they slept through their alarm, they will hold themselves accountable and find a way to retribute that gym session. The Gymgoer’s accountability enables them to remain realistic when chasing their goals and improving their health, making them honest when assessing their progress. So, as Gymgoers do, we must be accountable for our decisions. Whether we do a double session or miss the session, we must accept and embrace the consequences. Being realistic is the most reliable way to identify where we must make changes. However, accountability doesn’t mean we must punish ourselves every time we make a mistake but instead learn from it and move on.
3. Action-Orientated
Gymgoers count on their action-orientated mind to seize every day. Despite planning their sessions, rest days and, probably, meals, Gymgoers do not remain in the passenger seat looking at the map but rather hold the steering wheel and keep perfecting the path as they go on. Their action-orientated mind allows them to learn as they go, discovering how to use new machines, better routines and improved techniques. Therefore, they move beyond the planning and strive for action to chase those results. Like Gymgoers, we must be confident to take risks and start walking the path to our goals instead of remaining in the planning stage until we reach the impossible plan. Plans face hardship along the way, forcing them to change and adapt to new scenarios no matter how solid they seem, so why not just go for it once you know the outline of the way?
Gymgoers are minds committed to their cause. They will dedicate a part of every day to keep shaping the road they are walking towards their goal, no matter the setback or obstacle. So, remember to be persistent, especially when forming a habit or behaviour or starting the course towards an objective. And be accountable for the decisions and mistakes you make along the way. Be true to their consequences and do not linger in the punishment seat, but learn from the reaction of your action and keep moving forward; a battle does not win the war. And finally, plan your strategy, analyse your path and prepare to mitigate risks, but do not stay stuck in the planning phase forever. Take action, move forward and adapt to whatever life throws at you. Now, we invite you to adopt The Gymgoer’s Mindset as we all strive to better ourselves every single day, step by step.
