The first step in guaranteeing a healthy body is self-discipline. Discipline is essential because it will push you forward regardless of the roadblocks that may hinder your journey to fitness. It is totally difficult to discipline yourself because it must require a change to your usual lifestyle. Whether it be not eating any more Oreos, or simply running outside for at least ten minutes instead of playing video games, are some of the things that you should force yourself to do. Every one is different, however, that does not mean that you cannot find a way to discipline yourself.
Starting this new year fresh, I had to cut out all of the foods that were a lot of calories and contained high fructose corn syrup. Of course I felt like giving up; although, I knew that I must mentally prepare myself to avoid failure. This is when discipline played its role. The start of every journey is usually the most difficult because your body and mind are not used to these changes.
Once you are are disciplined, then it will start to influence an increase in confidence. Confidence will always prevail. It is a quality that one will have to promote motivation. If college students are confident to succeed, they will be successful. They are confident because of the initial discipline that they took upon for themselves.
These are the first two steps before one can achieve their main fitness goal. I know it will be a hard because of the temptation to eat ice cream, or tiredness to sleep; however, a strict routine will overall create happiness. There are going to be many times when you want to find an excuse to escape a workout or a meal, but simply cannot due to discipline. Once you begin to follow a strict routine, life will not seem as difficult.
