Complimentary 30-Minute Perseverance Workout: COVID-19 Edition

PERSEVERANCE is steady persistence in a course of action especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.

“I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.”  -Steve Jobs

 

PERSEVERANCE is EASIER SAID THAN DONE & it doesn’t just happen because we want it to. In many cases it will require the application of other principles to be able to persevere.

Some defects of character (uncovered through the Courage actions) that can drastically hinder Perseverance are IMPATIENCE, FEAR, FALSE EGO, APAHTY, SLOTH, or PROCRASTINATION. Many of these may have become glaringly apparent during this time of isolation and “stay at home” limitations.

But we can address these defects which will allow us to persevere by applying some principles that we have already integrated into our new lives in recovery: Faith, Courage, Integrity, Discipline, & Awareness. (If you missed these you can browse back to past workout lessons at the bottom of the page)

Application of Perseverance might be one of the most important principles relative to our long-term physical progress & recovery. It can be the deciding factor as to whether or not we accomplish our health & fitness goals. IF the defects listed above still run rampant in our lives then it will be almost impossible to persevere. Having the COURAGE to uncover defects, trusting the process through FAITH, putting accountability in place with INTEGRITY, & then staying present in the moment with AWARENESS will allow us to then apply PERSEVERANCE.
