How many of your know people who only seem to be good at one thing in life? That thing trouble. Why do so many people act like they have no conscience whatsoever and always seem to be living on the wrong side of everything? There are plenty of reasons why people act the way they do but the only answer is to put an end to their troubled lives before the trouble puts an end to that person`s life.
We all look for certain cures for our problems. In today`s world it seems there is a bottle or pill for every problem that a person faces in life. What about people that cause trouble? Don`t they have any discipline at all? They need to realize that there is more to life than trying to put an end to yourself day after day. That is why bodybuilding is the perfect drug for these sort of people. When a person starts noticing an improvement in their physical appearance, their self-esteem raises which gives them the mindset that anything is possible. This could be a step in the right direction to improving a person`s behavior.
When I was younger. I had a negative self esteem because I was overweight and never felt good about myself. This led to many things i shouldnt`ve been doing like lying, cheating, skipping school, and getting involved with the wrong people. This didn`t cure any of my problems but actually made them worse. I finally realized that there was a big need for change and when I started bodybuilding, everything slowly started to get better and I was determined to continue living a better lifestyle.
I also didn`t feel the need to hang around negative people as much because they were becoming a cancer to my bodybuilding goals. Instead of going to a party and drinking a case of beer I would just go to the party and drink one or two beers and then DRIVE home and get my 8-10 hours of sleep I need daily. When my friends started noticing I wasn`t as much of the partying type that I used to be, I noticed they weren`t doing it as much either which is good because you may have the power to put a stop to their negative behavior as well.
Now that you have decided to change your behavior, you need to write down some sort of negative hobby you have and replace it with something positive you can do for yourself. You can do many different things fitness related like weight lift, write an article, hang out on the forums, go supplement shopping, train at a new gym. It may seem difficult at first and feel that your friends might not support you but if they don`t then just get rid of them. They weren`t good friends anyways. Until next article, stay out of trouble.
