Motivation

It has been a full week of training with my coach and I must admit it has been a blast. I feel great except for one thing I don't want to exercise with my trainer tomorrow. In fact, I have thoughts of canceling the session and train myself. All kinds of thoughts were racing through my mind such as what will I say? or today coach I am sick, car trouble and a host of others. Another thought came to me and I said who am I fooling this coach has trained me for 6 years straight. We have been friends long after that. An ex marine and a psychologist I can't manipulate him nor myself. So I have decided to train with my coach and participate in learning and experience mild pain. However, it took careful affirmations and pumping myself up mentally to get out there and train with a man who looks at me and says hardly a word. Wow!! There is the Angel side of me saying Rich you can do it your great. And then the weaker side saying Rich your back, aba, shoulders and chest are in great pain what are you doing? I know exactly what going on and I must prepare for the best. I am back not afraid of any pain, fears, or a tough coach/trainer. I must do this now. Besides how can I face my clients, family, or friends I must workout now. I am a tremendous motivator and I must us my own expertise on me. I told myself Practice what you Preach and have fun doing it.

I decided on some motivation tips and they are as follows:

1. Reward yourself with a new pair of jogging shoes.
2. Affirmations like I am excited that the new me is experiencing joy.
3. Get Real. Set goals for yourself and make this the best
4. Journal
5. Start a exercise group with friends or co-workers
6. Read magazines, search the Internet, and read a good book on fitness.
7. Bury the excuses and train. Stop waiting and start now.

Today train and workout 2-3 times per week for the rest of your life. Don't forget to celebrate.

Peace and Blessings
