Sometimes the mind LIKES to fight us. It particularly enjoys talking us out of exercise.
“I’ll get going tomorrow morning.” The voice in our head assures us…
Sure enough next day, we drag out of bed because we ended up not sleeping well; or we rush into daily activities because we overslept; or we realize that too much needs to be done to start exercising this particular morning.
Or some new pain, or tight spot, flares up – cautioning us to take it easy today.
“Maybe there will be more time later and I’ll get to it before (after) dinner.” The voice soothes our non-believing self.
The Question is….How do we Upside Down our thinking so that get going really happens?
I saw the answer to that question written on the wall of an early gym when first learning how to work out with weights.
Half the Battle Was Getting Here.
Getting to the gym meant that I first had to walk out the door of my comfortable, everything within reach, no-effort apartment.
Any exercise modality today – and I recommend a starter brisk walk if our body allows it – requires that we turn the thinking voice upside down just long enough to head out the door.
Those early steps from my front door, then driving in my car, then walking through the gym entrance were half the battle that the gym was encouraging me to fight.
Split second physical activity flips a doubting mind.
That’s how it works… One foot after the other – We set our body free. WF!
