Create a Mental Shift

Last week I reached a new milestone with my workout routine.  My husband and I went to the park for our usual jog/run (he's a marathon runner), and for the first time, I actually enjoyed the workout.  This is significant, because prior to last week, I jogged and ran solely for health purposes.  While the sport is ok, I never really had much fun. 

I realized that I was having a good time because this time I did not have any of my usual aches and pains such as pain in my leg, headache, itching (my husband says that's caused by blood rushing to the surface and he always promised me that it would stop), and just plain being tired and resistant to the process.

Things started pulling together for me and the process of healing made more sense than it ever had.  A mental shift had been created whereby I now look forward to working out as opposed to just "doing my duty!"

It took me a few years to reach this mental shift.  The same can happen for you too!!!!   Just keep doing what you're doing, regardless of your sport/routine of choice and  you will see results as well as get your own "aha moment."




If I can do this, you DEFINITELY can!  Why not start today (of course you will check with your doctor first to make sure you do not have any impediments to whatever your chosen workout routine is.)

Drop me a line, let me know how your doing.

With love,
Dora

  1. An emotional and mental shift makes all the difference in the world, Dr. Dora ;-) It comes with BELIEF in what you are doing and KNOWING, deep down inside that you WILL benefit. Of course, it doesn't hurt to take care of your body (spirit and physical BEING) too!

    Thanks for a "nudge" in the right direction! Excellent reminder.
