Week # 7, Training your mind & soul is part of the process to get there!

Physical training and  mental-internal training are important. Let us say that your health already is affected therefore our mind & spirit also, is deteriorated untying a chain of events none of them wished (although that has not been our intention); you may have the desire to begin to improve and heal your body and mind but you must go step by step, we cannot in a day recover what it has taken months or even years to build inside. Let’s take for example a long distance runner that’s training to run a 26 miles marathon, at first he does not run that distance. But practicing every day he develops more endurance, speed and perseverance. Gradually he improves his capacity, and finally reaches his goal to run the event without any problem. Or in this case myself when I decided to compete again after being off stage for more than year I knew it had to be little by little to get back in condition one more time.

A way to training our internal life, (mind-soul) can be through meditation and visualization exercise, it will helps us to get ready to face our own life marathon. Therefore the daily practice of both physical and mental training little by little, will increased our capacity to improve, learning to have discipline and control of our life.

Exercise helps us obtain a good physical condition and also helps us in our internal life, having aspiration, control, felling good about ourselves, being more active, creating a balance between: Mind-Body-Soul; after all  that is our true nature.

We all have professional and personal aspirations, most of the times we visualized them being fulfill remembering past challenges that we have overcome. What’s the source of those experiences?  It is not because some of us are more or less spiritually developed than others it’s because of superior experiences.

Sometimes it happens that the Divine Inspiration touch us in a very special. Most of these people, like professionals, housewife, student, athletes etc., they have carried out their daily routine of visualization (and often without realizing they are doing it) or for an athlete practicing sports during many years, and now the Universe wants to show us  that there are superior realities in the life.

That Divine source means to us: “You do not stop yourselves here! Now you are doing something to obtain name and fame. If you get first place, you will obtain joy, and if you are the last one, you will feel miserable. But there is another world. In that world, you obtain tremendous joy. Here you are thinking that there are so many things that you must do, so many things in front of you, and you feel that you cannot do them all. But in that other world, not only you will be able to make more things, but that also will obtain joy and passion while you’re doing them.   You will not have to wait for the results to obtain joy.

 “Because day to day you’re taking control of your internal life (mind-soul) and your external life (body) having the motivation to continue improving and creating a quality of life superior to the one you have lived until now. If we trained, our body and mind we see that our capacities grow. Previously they were sleeping; they did not work within us. But when we reconnect again with ourselves and regain our passion, we managed to discover our hidden capacities or tap into them, we are able to do something and to transform us into something even better. Everything in us is extending, improving. Once we managed to extend our own capacity of transforming our self our personal best be are more productive, healthy and happy.  That’s our true nature, our internal mechanism activates and we begin to see the possibilities where we did not saw them before.

So this week with my passion again in my life for loving what I do, training to become a better athlete, person and most of all a Personal Trainer for my clients, I’m having so much fun again training myself, and my clients because I’m empowering them to become better, healthier and love the process while achieving their healthy goal!

Training Tips:

• Visualize yourself were how you want to look
• Keep the eye in the prize but enjoy the process
• Have fun with it, laugh even if at first you can do all the repetitions of sets you wanted to do Once a week get out of the gym go for a run or power walk at the park or beach 
• Use resistance bands and do a circuit training for the complete body it will do wonders for your mind and body at the same time
• 1-  Keep a daily journal and pour out  your heart in it, write down everything positive and specially negative it’s a great outlet 
• Keep positive people close to you that will support you and never ever will have a negative word of criticism toward you as a person, and if they do shut them out of your life.
