Why is change so hard?

Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to adjust to change?

Imagine starting a new job at the beginning it seems to you that nothing makes sense, you may even think that the job you have always dreamed of is not for you and you want to give up.
The same is when you start a diet or a new sport.
To build a new habit it takes courage and commitment
I'll explain why:
Imagine habits as neural pathways, your brain is full of old pathways, and to make room for a new habit you have to insert a new path into your old ones.
The new path will be established after you have repeated your new behavior for 45 days, regardless of whether you feel good or not.(Loretta Graziano Breuning, 2015)

Unfamiliar feelings are dangerous and exhausting, that's why we want to give up and stick to familiar feelings, that's why it's so hard to embrace change, but with commitment if you stick to the new habit for 45 days you will eventually feel so good because at that point the new path in your brain would activate happy chemicals like Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins.
These hormones and neurotransmitters are involved in many essential processes, such as heart rate and digestion, but also your mood and feelings which promote positive feelings like pleasure, happiness and even love.

What is your body type ECTOMORPH Naturally lean, slightly muscled, narrow in the shoulders and hips MESOMORPH Broad shoulders and a narrow waist and tend to be athletic and strong ENDOMORPH Usually in the shape of an "apple" or "pear". An ectomorph is not structurally suited to building large amounts of muscle. Ectomorphs usually find it very difficult to gain weight and are suitable for endurance sports like running or cycling where their lightweight bodies will come in handy. While a mesomorph has a tendency to be naturally lean and muscular. Endomorphs have a propensity for fat storage, but despite high levels of body fat, they are usually reasonably muscular as well. Some people may be made up of a mixture of the three main body types. Your body type can affect how you respond to different types of workouts and diet plans, so, i t is important to understand what your body type is in order to understand what your goals should be and train accordingly. ...

Celebrate uncertainty, because only through uncertainty is there potential for understanding. During my studies I came across this work: Whether we are aware of it or not, we are continually bombarded with information. This comes from our body and the world around us. What does this information look like? Take a moment to think about (i) what senses are available right now and (ii) what information you might be receiving through these senses. Write down your ideas in the comments section below.: "my senses right now tell me there are endless possibilities for us out there to explore, but we just don't know how, we lack the tools" Although I was asked about the 5 senses I responded by looking beyond the 5 senses and expressed how I feel to be here at this moment, in this part of the world and at this time of day. So I guess this is how I perceive the question and the world. we all see the same thing but perceive it differently Someone replied" I'm in the kitchen ...

How much protein do you really need for cycling and endurance sports? The results suggest that if you eat more than 1.6g per kg of body weight per day, you don't actually see any benefit. If you want to consume more, yes you can but it will be flushed down the toilet! All cells and tissues contain proteins, so proteins are essential for growth, repair and maintenance of good health, while the main role of carbohydrates in physical activity is to provide energy. Carbohydrates are our fuel. Cyclists are primarily concerned with getting stronger rather than getting bigger. You should be careful not to let your carbohydrate intake suffer because you are eating proportionately too much protein that you probably don't even need. With cycling and endurance sports to increase performance, the main focus will be on carbohydrate consumption and making sure you are adequately fueled before and after a run (and only during when the run is long and demanding). Recently the sports nutrition ...
