...They die hard
After living in Wisconsin for one month I have learned one thing, old habits die hard. All of last year I spent trying to better myself not only in physical form by going to the gym, but I was also working on losing my sense of shyness and my lack of "I don't give a fuck" attitude, two of my worst attributes. In the last couple of weeks I have taken steps backwards in reaching my goals. I have reverted to being shy and the "I don't give a fuck" attitude is fading away. Fortunate for me I have realized this issue before it got any worst.
The problem all derives from a lack of comfort. I was comfortable just being me because I knew I had a fall back, one of my closest friends(lets just call him Paul). Paul was somewhat of a self improving coach to me. As long as Paul was around I didn't care if I made a fool of myself, whether or not he was in the same room or even in the same 5mile radius didn't really matter. He understood what I was doing, I was trying to better myself(you'd be surprised how many people look down on that). Along with Paul I had all my other friends and my brother, so the comfort level was pretty high.
Comfort is your worst enemy...
Yes, I did say my problem derives from a lack of comfort, so you're probably thinking "Marco, then why is comfort bad"?
Relying on comfort destroys your goals, if you're comfortable you will never truly achieve anything. I was making real progress, my friends were noticing my increase in confidence. But what happened as soon as I became uncomfortable, I reverted to the old me again(that guy really sucks). So put your self in uncomfortable situations. Strive to improve, and if you fail well keep at it. Don't let the comfort of your average, normal, easy life pull you into its clutches. It will keep you there and you will never improve.
So stay uncomfortable, and go get those gainz....whatever they may be.
