Being Negative Is Natural

I am a little weird. In college I liked chemistry a lot – got lot’s of A’s, did extra problems, etc.
There was only one thing from chemistry that is useful in coaching today, and that is this thing called “delta G” or DG.
Look, chemistry isn’t all boring (There’s an explosion and fire in it for you):
(Bear with me, I’m going somewhere with this and this will be useful to YOU.)
In chemistry one of the important things to find out was if a reaction is spontaneous or not. This is, if you add two things together will they react (combine and do stuff like hopefully explode!) spontaneously… or automatically.
Like, if you wanted to make water. Water is H2O.
So, if you take 1 O and add it to 2 H’s, will you get H2O spontaneously (automatically)?
There’s a formula to answer that questions I won’t share ‘cuz it’s very complicated and won’t help the story at all.
What is important is what the formula would tell you. The number you would get would be DG:
- If DG was a negative number, then the reaction was spontaneous.
- And if DG was positive, then the reaction was not spontaneous.
So, look at that again. If DG is positive, then the reaction is non-spontaneous, and it requires added energy to happen.
If DG is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous. It’s automatic.
How This Matters To You
I think that this is a lot like life, and the important things in life. You know, letting the busy-ness of life creep in, take over and edge out time for exercise is pretty much automatic. That’s true no matter how much you happen to like exercise, or how important you say that it is for you to be fit.
Being in bad shape, losing muscle, losing strength, gaining fat, finding yourself with a mouthful of junk are all pretty much spontaneous in the world we currently live in. You don’t need to expend any energy to get yourself tired, fat or in bad shape.
The positive things that you want in life/your body are going to require that you put energy in. DG is positive.
The negative things that you generally do not want are pretty much going to happen to you regardless. DG is negative.
It is easy and nearly automatic to get off track. It is easy and nearly automatic that life will present you with ample opportunity to (that you will later tell in a story called an excuse) veer off course to the body you want. And, then, when you get to the body you want, life will provide ample opportunity for you to get rid of it.
The negative stuff is automatic. Life will provide far more than you ask for as long as you are alive.
The positive stuff takes work, effort, diligence, choice, struggle and discipline. That you must provide. Pretty much none of what you really want it is automatic.
No more work and your body gives you the boot
Getting the body you deserve.
