Deposition, crystallisation or desublimation is the thermodynamic process in which a gas becomes a solid without passing through a liquid phase. Impressive! But what does that have to do with nutrition? Honestly, nothing directly. This post is about sport and an idea we believe in: starting a challenge can make you happy<\/strong>. Notice the word \u201cstarting\u201d. Setting a goal and taking the first step are different things.<\/p>\n

Many people have a goal, a plan, a dream or an ambition that remains floating in the air like a gas. It is not just nutrition or sport. Someone unhappy at work might say, \u201cI would love to study something else\u201d, but how many actually sit the first exam? Turning thought into action, from gas to solid, is the hard part.<\/p>\n

\"Starting<\/p>\n

Those who have felt the satisfaction of working towards a goal are often tempted to persuade others to do the same. But motivation is complicated and personal. Repeatedly telling partners, friends or family why they should exercise or change their diet can lead to frustration rather than action.<\/p>\n

Like the world of The Little Prince, your motivation has room for you. When something sparks it\u2014a life change, a G\u00f3mez Noya video<\/a><\/span>, or finding a medal you won at 14\u2014consider taking a manageable first step. You do not need every app, gadget or perfect plan before beginning. Put on suitable clothes and shoes and choose an activity appropriate to your health and ability: a walk, an easy outing, a gym visit or time outdoors.<\/p>\n

The first session need not be impressive. What matters is that you have started. Then you can define the goal, plan sensibly and contact INDYA for help from your sports nutritionist<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
