This month we are talking about leaving your problems at the door.  We all have busy lives and we do whatever we can to fit it all in.  We squeeze and poke at our schedule to get every little minute we have to achieve our goals. 

 

My workout time is scheduled.  It is important and I make it count.  Here is what I like to do.  When I cross the barrier of the door on my way into the gym, that is my hour to focus on one and only one thing, building and sculpting my body in exactly the way I desire.  Making my body do as I say and obey me.  That is my hour to focus, and hone in on my fitness goals.  Nothing else is important, and nothing else is talked about.  Sure I like to laugh and have a good time at the gym.  But if my mind starts to wander on some task later in the day, or a problem that has been bothering me, I guide my mind back to my fitness goals, and focus with 100% dedication and energy into my muscles and my mind.  My cardio is spent visualizing or repeating affirmations, my training time is spent feeling the muscles and visualizing what they are doing.  In the end of the hour, I am refreshed, energized and ready to move on to the next segment of my life.  Try it, next time you go to the gym.  Create a jacket, that you take off as you enter the gym and say to yourself... This is my hour! And get to work.  Nothing beats the feeling of an awesome workout!
