Monday Motivation: Break Out 11/07/2011
I know it’s a busy season for us, maybe an understatement, and I am sure sometimes you feel as if you just need a break. Well, consider this: instead of needing a break, how about we break out? Maybe we need to be broken instead needing a break. In order for a muscle to grow or strengthen, it has to be torn down first. A remodeling job means you first bulldoze the property and establish a new foundation. So, if you are not achieving wellness in your life (personally or professionally) think about a mental remodel. My motivation for you is to break out of any unhealthy thought patterns, jealousy, bitterness, negative outlook, gossip, looking out for number 1, unclean eating and drinking, and exercise overlook. We talk a lot about physical wellness, but emotional wellness needs to be discussed for a balanced life. A Chinese proverb says “The only one you hold in prison by holing onto anger is yourself.” Let’s break out of values that don’t bring health to us and others around us. “Your candle looses nothing when it lights another.” Also, break out of the mental limitations! Whenever I do a fitness assessment with someone I always ask visioneering like: · “What is the highest ideal for yourself?” · “How do you want to look and feel?” · “Let’s talk about a vision for a healthier you.” · “The healthiest you, what does that look like?” There is so much value in reaching beyond your current limitations and establishing mental concrete! Take your mind thru Yogalates, Tai Chi that wall and train your brain! I was explaining to someone last week about an ancient Greek philosophy that states you can’t live a holistic life without your mind, body and soul being in unison; balanced and healthy. She was taken back and said “No way I can that.” I said, “then you are right.” I challenged her to knock off limitations she had placed on her mind. Break out of the mental box. Why associate your true ambition with limited reach? You can achieve what you perceive! Give yourself a fresh mindset, positive and giving. Your inlook will determine your outlook. You give energy back to yourself when you put energy into others around you. Take that to the bank and cash it every time… CommentsLeave a Reply |
