Exercise for success

Let go of what you think you know and be open to learning a new way of being

A healthy regime for your mind and body will undoubtedly give you the results you long for. Whichever way you define success, exercising all the parts of yourself can only bring with it joy, fulfillment and contentedness in your space in the world.

 Keep your body fit by working out regularly. If the structure of a gym is not your thing, then be creative about where you get your endorphin induced highs.

We live in a beautiful part of the world, get outside and find an activity that gets your heart racing and your blood pumping.

Whatever you choose to do, ensure you do it often and consistently. If you have trouble staying motivated, then get a friend to do it with you so you can keep each other encouraged or join a club or get a trainer.

Keep your body in motion, because movement of any kind shows the world that you have the ability to move through all of life’s experiences.

Keep your heart open to opportunities for growth, new relationships, fresh perspectives on the world and for seeing the best in those around you, including yourself. We become so guarded by life’s experiences that we very rarely have the free spirit of children.

Those layers of protection will only get you so far and so will the feedback you get from others. If you want a different response and a more fulfilling experience of life, you need to alter yourself.

Let go of what you think you know and be open to learning a new way of being.

The coping mechanisms you’re using have gotten you here; so elevate yourself by learning something more. Make one small change and allow your heart to open to greater possibilities.

Keep your mind flexible by reading inspiring books and learning more about topics you are passionate about and then some you aren’t.

Keep yourself knowledgeable and worldly. Avoid watching television and reading material that’s saturated with negativity. This will only persuade your mind and body to go into protective mode, which will limit your ability to be open and receptive to more of the good.

Do word puzzles as often as you can. These help to train our brains by keeping them flexible through different thought processes, allowing your mind to remain younger and sharper.

Keep your comfort zone expanding by avoiding getting yourself stuck in a rut.

As soon as you start to see the signs of a comfort zone, take action, shake things up and make a change.

Of course you’ll want to stay there, but this will not serve you or the people around you. Often, just a break from routine or a new environment can be enough to inspire you into a new phase of growth.

Take time to do this. Step out of the box you have created for yourself and spread your wings.

Remember, the world around you is responding to the way you are performing in it. Choose to live it well.
