Thanks for sharing this! This puts in to words what has felt a little off to me the last couple of years. I've been feeling off balance because the things that I used to do didn't work for me or fit in to my lifestyle as well but I was feeling a little guilty or like I was somehow failing because I needed to switch it up. I think I've picked up some wonky ideas along the way from various trainers that wanting variety is somehow a weakness. Like if I need change to feel motivated then I'm screwed because apparently the goal is to be so emotionally stoic that you just do the workout with no thoughts about whether you want to or not.
Love this overall concept and application. I work with a trainer who is very tuned in to me and who always asks what hurts, how the last workout felt, etc. I have been itching to take a yoga class, so I guess I’ll take the initiative to do that next!
Thanks for sharing this! Somehow I knew this but it didn’t click fully until I read this! I was trying to figure out why I was getting bored with walking around the park and with indoor things at certain times of the year. Walking around the park in winter in BC Canada is often a very rainy wet thing to do and sometimes it’s well heavy and I just don’t want to go. I’m going to think on this a bit more and see if I can find a good pattern like this to try. 👏🏼👏🏼
