Sometimes, I ask of myself too much. I think too far ahead to the finish line, and not to where I am right now. When this happens, I am certainly headed for a fall. So, I read this interesting article about burnout, specifically geared around fitness and burning the candle at both ends too soon. It turns out that people need to give themselves time to process and learn this healthy lifestyle that we all are trying to achieve. Give a read and tell me your thoughts. I think it has some great strategies to success.

Good article, thank you for sharing. I agree, it's all about "baby steps". Not taking it too fast too quickly - one step at a time. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting... I'm going to start another 6-week workout challenge on Monday. Wish me luck that injury/illness doesn't scupper my plans like it normally does! lol

ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to focus on the here and now. I'm always planning out the next thing and that steals the joy out of the present.
