Training Report: What if I told you there was a tool so
powerful and so helpful that it can almost put your quest
for fitness here on auto-pilot....
Well, I would be telling you the truth, all possible
through training.
Without sounding like an infomercial for some miracle pill
or magic juice, what is this mystery force. Simply put, it
is your mind! Training for your mind!!
Like Albert Gyorgyi says, "Whatever a man does he must do
first in his mind."
I wholeheartedly agree with that statement, it's the truth.
You can't write without thinking about what you are going
to write about first, you can't say anything unless you
think of it first, well at least anything meaningful.
Training Concept: Every single thing that you do originate
in your mind. Whether that be an easy task such as writing
your name, (hopefully easy for you), or a harder task -
when you may not know the path to your goal.
Apply this process to training and fitness - and we can say
that you have to see yourself thin and an ultimate outcome
of weight loss in your mind first - before you can even
begin the process.
Why is it for some people that being heavy is a frame of
mind rather than just a temporary condition. I have to say
as a Fitness Coach - if you are going to be fit and healthy
you have to start thinking like a fit and healthy person.
This can be summed up by a quote from Mike Todd.....
Training Concept # 2: "I've never been poor, only broke.
Being poor is a frame of mind. Being broke is only a
temporary situation." You must believe it yourself before
you can actually do something. You are never going to be
able to do something if you don't think you can or don't
believe you can't.
If you are stuck in a "heavy mindset", your body will stay
the same accordingly.
Planning is indeed a guarantee for reaching your Fitness
goal. When you go grocery shopping do you have a plan?
Or do you go around the isles letting your stomach decide
for you what you will buy at the time. I always advocate
shopping with a list when you are full. If you plan out
your grocery shopping trip you are much more likely to get
only what's on your list.
Then you don't have those extra boxes of twinkles or bag of
cookies sneaking into your shopping cart - which would be a
very bad temptation to have lurking in your house - unless
you eat everything on the way home in the car.
The title of a great book, "Battlefield Of The Mind", says
it all in the title.
Training Concept #3: Why have a battle take place in your
mind each time you need to make a decision. You are tempted
to dive into that freshly baked double-triple fudge cake at
the office party, are you going to sit their staring at it
and try and decide what you should do, weighing the pro's
and con's in your mind.
Or are you going to let your goals decide for you. You say
to yourself I already thought this out, and this won't help
me reach my goals, so you happily reject the temptation and
move on to the delightful broccoli casserole.
Let your mind decide what your future will be rather than
your stomach and rely on your Training.
Plan out and determine what you want to happen in the
future, and how you are going to go about getting there. If
you don't decide yourself - your circumstances will shape
what happens.
Go for some training and set your mind to create the right
circumstances in order for you to succeed on your journey
to fitness.
