The main reason for starting this blog is so that I can keep a personal diary that shares my positive experiences and stories from my life of fitness, activity and good health. But when things go wrong – how do we teach the mind to accept significant lifestyle changes as a result, finding alternatives and new expectations?
Another purpose for this blog is that I hope it will provide some interest to those of you who share a passion for fitness and health and have also experienced setbacks (long-term and short-term), injuries and health issues. As a long-distance runner I have had my share of injuries and have been dealing with an on going long-term injury these past 4-months. I am interested in sharing thoughts on how we deal with the powerful feelings and frustration when we cannot do what we love. It is important but sometimes difficult to find other alternatives - like developing other interests in your life when injuries and health issues occur which limit or even cease your active lifestyle for a time.
I will be updating my thoughts and progress on this regularly. I will start by giving a brief summary of how, when and why this “passion” started and intensified leading onto more recent and current commentary!
For those of you who share a similar passion - you will understand the almost obsessive behaviour, frustration and outcomes that can happen as a result of sometimes losing a balance and allowing ideas of achieving optimum health and fitness take over your life.
At the end of the day we all want to be healthy, fit and happy but must find the proper well-rounded life balance in order to achieve this with minimal limitations.
