Most of them think that why keep exercising without feeling better, without feeling losing weight... This makes their determination eroded every day until it returns to zero.
In fact, many people think they give up because of lack of determination, but the real reason lies elsewhere: You don't see yourself progressing, so you lose faith. And when you no longer believe that what you do will lead to results, you will automatically stop - not because you are weak, but because you think: "Continuing is useless".
The problem is not in laziness, but in the feedback system you are using. Imagine you learn to play the guitar. The first week, you gather the sound, you feel your finger hurt. The second week, you play a few chords, but it's still messy. The third week, you play a simple piece of music. But because it's not good, not smooth, you think you don't have the talent. The feeling of "I'm stuck" appears - and you give up.
This situation does not only happen when learning to play the piano. It happens in everything: Learning foreign languages, exercising, writing content, building a career. When you don't see clear results, the brain will doubt the progress. And doubt is the fastest thing to erode motivation. But remember: Not seeing results does not mean no results. It only means you have not measured the right place.
Psychology shows that: People are not good at assessing progress with feelings. We are easily skewed because of high expectations, because of comparison with others, because of demanding too early. It's like someone who has just sown seeds for a few days bent down and asked: "Why haven't you seen the tree?" Seeds take time. And you too.
If you don't want to give up, you must build a measurement system for yourself, as specific as possible. Instead of wondering why you're not healthy, ask: How many minutes have I practiced today? Do I understand better than yesterday? What mistakes have I handled? This is the feedback loop, which helps you realize where you are going, even with very small steps.
To adjust, look at development like building a house. You can't put down the roof before putting down the foundation. You can't build the 3rd floor if the 2nd floor is not solid. Each skill, each step forward - takes time to accumulate. When you understand that, you will be less impatient. Instead of demanding quick results, you start focusing on doing it right and evenly. And that is the only way to reach the destination without giving up halfway.
Finally, ask a simple question that decides a lot: If you know that this will take two years to start with clear results, do you still want to continue? If the answer is yes, you are doing it for real value. If the answer is no, you may be doing it for short-term expectations or for an image rather than for the road itself.
Success is not a reward for the best, but a reward for people who understand where they are, what they are doing, what needs to be adjusted and persistently move forward even though they have not seen anything.
Therefore, "Don't give up" is essentially not a piece of advice but only shows you how to deal with difficult situations that require discipline every day.
