The Relationships You Nurture

Take a look at your marriage/intimate relationship. Now, where it applies, take a look at the relationship you have with your children. Both of these relationships have some striking similarities: they both take time, hard work, and they have their share of obstacles making either relationship a challenge. Making a commitment to your personal health is no different. Whether you decide to train with a friend, family member, or you elect to hire a trainer, you're embarking on another relationship that will share many of the same obstacles. If you want results, it will take effort and for many of you, that means working it in between time with family and time at work. I frequently find people who just aren't ready to make that type of commitment and honestly, that's okay too. When you're mentally ready to focus on yourself, find the support system that serves you best and move forward. Until you're ready to make the mental commitment, you may only be setting yourself up for failure. Focusing on yourself as it pertains to your health is rarely a selfish act. It is simply taking great care of the person who takes great care of others.
