Face it, no one on this planet, can or ever will want more for your life, more than you. Not your parents, your best friend, sibling/s and/or husband/wife. Only YOU can/should set goals for yourself. Only you know where you want to go and what you want to achieve. And at the end of the day, it is only YOUR will, desire and passion that is going to move you to accomplish those dreams and wants.
BUT, having a partner by your side could help propel you to move more.
As many of us find ourselves hitting the gym, pavement or yoga classes as part of our new years resolution/s to lose weight/stay in shape/get fit/lead a healthier lifestyle – the reality is, it can sometimes be difficult making that transition and journey on your own. So why not partner up? Why not ask your sibling, close friend or even colleague if they would like to accompany you to this weekend’s aerobics class. Or perhaps ask your jogging fanatic neighbor if you can join him on his next run. Everyone needs a spot in the gym at one point or another, bring someone along. Partner up baby!
I can guarantee you that partnering up will 1) enhance enthusiasm/motivation 2) increase discipline and 3) enable you to stick to it longer
Its worked for me many times in the past and still continues to do so successfully. The Crossfit group classes I attend are just that, group classes. Its those around me and with me that establish that support system I need to take it to the next level. For no matter how self-motivated of a person you are or are not, everybody needs somebody to move further in life. And that equally is true in the gym, in the classes and on the pavement.
