It's been a year and a half since I started exercising. From the perspective of the whole time span, personally, it is more appropriate to do it with excitement and interest than to persist.
At first, I just liked fighting and sports. Later, I added that I want to be in good shape, not only to fight, but also to pick up girls. This is a fact. So began the first day, the first month, the first year of training.
I was really tired at first, and I was lazy after the pain, but at the thought or sight of the achievements of my predecessors, the longing in my heart overthrew the pain and laziness. Get up and continue.
The small achievements accumulated in the first half and the middle half greatly stimulated my excitement. Coupled with the envy and suggestions of friends around me, I am really a little drifting. But keep practicing. The feeling of relaxation after practice is really a kind of enjoyment. That's awesome. Very relaxed.
Later, I was too adrift, so I practiced Bruce Lee's dragon flag movements instead. Getting started was the biggest difficulty, and the result was so difficult that it really hit my confidence and almost ruined it. Once I stopped training for three or five days.
A few days after I stopped training, I went to a bar to drink with my comrades in the evening and inadvertently boasted about how awesome and domineering I was as a teenager. Neither he nor I will obey anyone! Finally, it turned into a drunken discussion!
Later, I made a bet with him that whoever comes out with eight abdominal muscles first will be the boss. Just for this bet, I continued to practice. At that time, it was already a six-pack abdominal muscle. Later, the abdominal ripper and Dragon Flag intensified training, and it took four months to develop eight abdominal muscles. A little sadistic. But I never thought of the so-called persistence, purely for gambling to win my comrades.
My general situation is like this, and it may be different from others'. There is no such thing as faith in TV series: I want to persist, I want to persist! I am simply a kind of excitement and a kind of enjoyment.
Bless this friend who asks questions.
