In our case, it’s also just past the midpoint of our six-month journey towards BlizzCon, wow gold when motivation may flag and adhering to healthier eating and exercise habits can begin to wane. Maybe you’ve hit a plateau. Maybe you’re bored with your program. This point in time is, to quote everyone’s favorite Mon Calimaran, a trap. OK, maybe it’s more of a pothole, or yet another slog through Desolace/Stranglethorn Vale/[insert your least-loved zone of mid-game grind leveling here].
So what is there to be done about it? wow po
The easiest answer, of course, is to keep practicing the good habits you’ve developed over the last couple months. Like building any good tanking, casting or DPS rotation, this is something you’ve gradually tuned and honed as you’ve done it, occasionally spicing things up when you get a new skill or try out a re-spec or need to adjust to accommodate a new weapon. But with familiarity comes boredom, and you can slip back into doing encounters you’ve been farming on something like autopilot. While zoning out on the treadmill or exercise bike or even going for a jog isn’t a bad thing, it’s not exactly the ideal headspace from which to pick up heavy things, especially if you’re going to be holding them over your head.
But let’s say that you’re still feeling that creeping ennui about your fitness routine. Here are some ways to rekindle your enthusiasm.
Do something completely different
Maybe you’ve had your eye on a group fitness class that you saw a flier for at the supermarket. Maybe you have a birthday coming up and when someone asked what you wanted, the idea of getting a bike for the first time in years flashed across your mind. It could be something simpler, like giving up a particular vice or potentially troublesome foodstuff for a month. In my case, I have done a couple of different things, both out of necessity (I didn’t pick up anything heavier than I am for a month to let an injury recover) and from pure curiosity (“How does this intermittent fasting thing make me feel?”). I also joined my company softball team.
