Principles for Achieving a Healthier Life Series
Read Time: 2-3 mins.

In our principles series we will be highlighting principles that are critical for you to understand in order to maximize your results in health and life. If you are climbing your way back from substantial pain or persistent health problems, do not take these lightly. Something that you will notice about Functional Patterns is that it is many times the practitioners themselves that get the most substantial results, that is because we have been implementing these principles into our lives for years. We strive to set the example and show you what you are capable of when you implement what we teach. Each one of us has a history of chronic pain and injury that we are healing from. By embracing these principles and being patient, we are able to enjoy hard workouts again without feeling like we’re being damaged by them. That’s what FP is all about - sustainable progress for a lifetime.

That being said, its not about being perfect with your behaviors. It’s about being honest with yourself, striving to move in a better direction, and being patient with your body as not all days will feel like improvement.

Principle #5: Accept Responsibility for Your Health and Embrace Accountability
If you can accept that it was your decisions that lead to your current state of health and then seek out those who will hold you accountable for your goals, you will create an optimal environment for success.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Look to spend more time with people that hold you accountable for achieving your goals and will communicate directly when you are not doing what you know you should be doing (or shouldn’t be doing). Those who hold you accountable are your true friends because they acknowledge your goals and help you move in the right direction.

Our group classes are meant to be an environment where you can spend time with other people with similar goals and develop supportive relationships. Additionally, group classes are a great accountability tool for developing your FP practice.

Another way you can engage in the FP community is by joining the “Functional Patterns Doers” group on Facebook. Post your posture pictures, videos of you practicing exercises, or simply ask questions. This page has been active for years and has lots of good questions. You can search the group for questions that have already been asked or ask a new one if you can’t find the answer you are looking for.

Don’t underestimate the power of receiving different forms of feedback from within the FP community. There are a lot of us working to improve our lives that have likely been through the same experiences you have.
