Simplicity is the hardest thing sometimes.
That's another amazingly profound statement. One a lot of people get hung up on. I'm a contrarian by nature who values simplicity... always have been. So by nature, I have a knack for breaking things down to their foundational elements. I can't imagine not doing that with most things in life. It's that foundational understanding of *everything* that helps me think rationally.
Interesting!
From my brief and limited life experience, some people you can get through to....others, nuthin. That case always sucks.
Yup, that's been my take. And that's my point. Different people are responsive to different things. As a trainer, that's something I've found to be true firsthand quite often. I feel it's my job to establish drive in a client when it doesn't exist there naturally. Rather than waiting for that drive to be ignited, I believe in the idea of helping people find it.
No, I don't mean cheerleading, which is what you see most trainers doing in gyms. Saying things like, "You can do this" when in truth, the client can't.
I mean more along the lines of finding mental constructs that are habitual and counterproductive and breaking them down. Helping people change perception.
But again, that's easier said than done. Some people are receptive. Some people are not.
For those who aren't.... I'm certainly willing to try but I'm also willing to count my losses and feel like I have a good gauge in relation to knowing with whom my 'training' will work and not work.
