☆ conscious 意識的な
============================
When we talk about staying in shape or getting healthy one of the important things we need to do is make a “conscious decision” to do it. When we make a conscious decision to do something, we do it with our full attention. If we just think vaguely about wanting to get healthy or now that we are healthy, wanting to stay in shape, then it probably won’t happen. We really need to be conscious and aware of our goal in order to reach it.
An example for me was that last year I had a training plan for my running from a running coach, and I made a conscious decision to take part in an ultra-marathon at the end of October. So I ran regularly, ate well, and reached most of my goals. This year, however, I didn’t make any conscious plans to run any events, and I have suddenly been “too busy” to run… strange! Even though I’m not really busier than last year – without the conscious decision to train and run, I cannot find the time to do it!
How about for you? Have you ever noticed the difference in your own life from making or not making a conscious decision to do something?
Bye,
