Getting More from Your Workout with Meditation

Getting More from Your Workout with Meditation
Today I want to give you a specific meditation. This
mediation will help you in your overall life, and it will
especially help you get optimal results from your exercise
regimen.

Here tis:

1. Find a quiet place to lie down.

2. Close your eyes and start to breathe deeply from your
diaphragm. Concentrate on your belly moving up when you
breathe in and down when you breathe out.

Concentrate on this for 1-2 minutes...you'll feel very
relaxed and not have a care in the world if you're truly
concentrating.

3. Now, think of the body you desire. Craft it in your
mind's eye.

- What will your abs look like? Toned, ripped, etc.

- What will your shoulders and arms look like? Defined,
ripped, etc.

- What will your thighs and glutes look like? Firm,
toned, etc.

- What feelings do you get from this? Pride, excitement,
happiness, etc.

Really paint the picture in your mind's eye of what you
look like and how you feel.

4. Make the picture you painted bigger and brighter.
Imagine it becoming clearer as it grows, NOT pixilated,
CLEAR. Continue to breathe deeply as you picture this.

5. Finally, as your picture becomes brighter, bigger, and
clearer put a smile on your face and get the feeling inside
your body of how you felt on Christmas morning as a child.

This feeling should create a smile on your face. It should
feel natural and not forced. This feeling should also make
you smile in your gut and down to your toes.

Try this meditation and let me know how you feel
afterwards. This meditation is easy to do and should only
take you 5-10 minutes depending on how into it you get.

Playing motivational music in the background will help you
get into this even more. Be careful though...too much
mediation that leaves you feeling like this will bring on
results faster than you think. Be careful what you wish
for (and imagine).

Do this meditation at least once a day and record how you
feel in your journal. How you feel afterwards is extremely
important. Write this down and see if you accomplish your
goals faster.

NOTE: If you don't achieve your goals faster with this
meditation I bet you're not consistent with doing this on a
daily basis. I'm telling you this before you start so you
understand to make this, or any meditation, work you have
to make it a HABIT.

Have fun with this and really FEEL yourself like you
imagine. Remember, your life is emotion driven...use that
to your advantage!
