Patience is a gift that I can always use more of. (A friend of mine once said it is a bad idea to pray for patience, because God will send all kinds of patience exercises. I think that is definitely one of God’s ideas of humor.) When it comes to workouts, it’s really key.
I don’t think I’m alone in wishing that workouts gave more instant results. What do you mean I have to do this every day for weeks to see results? Also, learning new things can be challenging. It’s very tempting to get impatient with myself for not getting it right away.
One thing that helps me practice my patience is to keep the long term results in the back of my head while I focus more on the instant gratification. I really do feel better right away when I work out. I may not be instantly stronger or cuter or anything, but I do feel good.
What helps you be patient?
