I was searching around for some fitness posts today, as of late I've been looking specifically into nutrition and different training styles. I came upon something a little different, which made me realize a very important aspect that is sometimes left unsaid when it comes to fitness.
Small Chunks... Big Progress by Tashawn Howell
It was a very good read, the essence of the post was that attempting to make small changes in various aspects of your life will turn into larger overall progress. Sometimes we try to do too much, as Tashawn states we want to be Jack's of all trade... and while it is impossible to be perfect at everything, it is perfectly possible to make great strides in the things you do and how you live your life. By breaking these things down into smaller chunks, it helps the overall progress in the grander scheme of life.
Tashawn also went on to say a new promise he made to himself was to finish 1 thing everyday, regardless of how big or hows small, he must finish one thing that had been currently in progress. This he says leads to momentum and a sort of snowball affect. I had for a while lost sight of the whole idea of momentum. I was looking at it from a singular point of view, I was trying to isolate everything so much that nothing was actually getting done. After reading that post it really awoke my motivation and desire to improve again, that snowball starts as just a flake but once it gets rolling it starts picking up more and more sustenance, covers more ground, and more matter gravitates toward it. Everything has a weird ability to either directly or indirectly influence who you are and how you think, taking a step back and realizing that can really change your entire mental approach. If everything your involved with is approached from an aware mindset, one that knows good tends to follow good, those small chunks can truly lead to big progress.
