The word “sport”

The word “sport” is a synonym for us to be the best. It is hard to achieve. This is because sports are most of the time associated with the competition.

The brain refuses the new

Everything new in life is hard to do. You know that. This is because our brains don’t like to change. Whenever we do something new, our minds make new connections. To convince our minds, we must practice for more than months or at least a year. The time limit for the brain to adapt to the recent activity is different from one person to another. For me, it takes more than a year, don’t be ashamed of that.

Sports Level

When we start the sport, we find ourselves with people who are good at it. When we see others doing better than us, we lose hope after some time.

So How can we do sports?

The very first thing is not to count on motivation. Sports need regularity to make it a habit, but we cannot have motivation every day. You don’t have to be motivated to move every single day. Even when you have to choose a sport you like, it is like a job. Every day cannot be the best.

Don’t be ashamed if you are not doing four hours or six hours a week. If you start small, you can always progress. Let’s say twice a month it’s ok, you will do it every week after a year.
