It's been an amazing month of training! I am beginning to feel very aligned with my body and my strength. I'm incredibly grateful and appreciative of my overwhelming sense of physical wellness and ability. All of a sudden things that used to seem impossible to me are becoming possible. Pull-ups, Handstands, Back walkovers, sub-40sec swim sprint. Yes, I have been training consistently, but I don't always get results like these. What changed?? Well, in the hopes that this doesn't sound corny or unrealistic, I'm going to attempt to explain my success. It's mind power. I'm not sure how else to say it. But when I begin to believe that I CAN and WILL become stronger, faster, and more flexible, then voila, I do. But it's much more than JUST believing. It's actually FEELING that it can and will become true. And then of course DOING something about it. Working towards it. But the DOING matters actually less than the BELIEVING. It needs to become a deep rooted, consistent, un-wavering faith. The principle is the same no matter what your goal is. So even if you don't care about being strong or fast, and the only reason you work out at all is to lose weight or get more "toned"..well, the rule applies to you too. Going thru the motions is a very poor way of achieving anything. But those exact same motions with a dedicated intensely focused effort can absolutely change everything.
