Great example Candice:

Bringing yourself into the moment cuts out the noise and allows you to accomplish things you ordinarily wouldn’t think possible.

I’m glad you’ve noticed this as well!

I use this kind of thing when I’m running ultra distances. Nobody REALLY wants to run 89km’s (56 miles) but you do it to see if you can! After you have been running for about 8 hours your mind starts telling you things like “I’m not going to make this” or “My body isn’t made to run this far” or “I don’t think I trained enough”. As long as you don’t identify with these thoughts, you are able to do the most amazing things – like finish.

Bringing yourself into the moment cuts out the noise and allows you to accomplish things you ordinarily wouldn’t think possible.

Thanks Glen!!

Nice post Glen. Being really present takes the mind off the resistance even. The key is to get yourself involved deeply. It’s almost like meditation.

I like the idea of ‘making a day of it’ – maybe some of these might help Doz – http://www.pluginid.com/motivational-techniques/

This totally works. One of my favourite things to do, which a lot of the population dislikes, is chores around the house because I’m immersed in the moment, always have some good music in the background and I make a whole day of it, a day to myself. It’s a cleansing experience for me.

Now getting me to exercise, that’s something else. I dont know just how to get myself to do it. And I actually enjoy it, it’s just the getting out there that I really have difficulty with. I need to get the same leverage I get from cleaning.
