Ugh As I began my morning jog one day last week I found myself really struggling. It was hot, sticky humid, my legs felt like each one had a sand bag strapped to it, the mosquitoes were out in swarms.
Ugh! I recognized that I had to shift my attitude or there was no way I would make it. A phrase came to me that I started to play with...I Love That... I got so carried away with it that before I knew it I suddenly noticed I was within yards of finishing.
The run had become effortless. My attitude had shifted away from being self-absorbed into gratitude.
If there is any way you can apply this to something you are struggling with, try it! The shift in attitude can free you. Its quite fun! This is not exactly how it went, but what I could recall.
I Love That...When I walk and jog I am living a healthy lifestyle.I Love That...When I cross the finish line, I will feel awesome!I Love That...When I start off the day with exercise, I start off the day with a success.I Love That...The more I exercise the easier it becomes to breathe.I Love That...When I exercise my clothes slip right on. I Love That...When my muscles ache after a run its a sign that Im growing...becoming stronger.I Love That...When I exercise I become more tone.I Love That...Exercising gives me more energy through the day.I Love That...I have two legs to exercise on.I Love That...I can breathe.I Love That...If I dont cross the finish line I will have gotten closer to my goal and will be stronger because of it.I Love That...I have been given the gift of another day.I Love That...when I am nervous before a speech it's a sign that I am about to stretch beyond my comfort zone which always leads to interesting opportunities.I Love That...Planes fly over me all day carrying people to where they want to go...safely.I Love That...I can hear the sound of the traffic on the freeway ...the sound of people going to their jobs.I Love That...Some of those people are going to jobs to help other people get jobs.I Love That...I know someone who while looking for a job himself has taken on the role of helping a small groupof unemployed individuals find jobs (no strings attached).I Love That...When someone needs help, there are thousands of people, organizations, and churches who are looking for them, because they want to help people in need.I Love That...We have FREEDOM!I Love That...Wherever I am...wherever I go...God is with me.This all happened naturally and yet the shifts are very clear.
In the beginning I am very focused on the exercise and self absorbed...then shift to gratitude while still looking inward. When I looked up and noticed a plane flying above, it shifted me to gratitude with regard to others.
When I heard the traffic I thought...whats good about that?...and immediately remembered all the people I have talked to lately who are out of work. Finally, gratitude in the fullest expression of all that I am.
This is not meant to sway anyone in their views, only to give you the opportunity to try the I love that... phrase and see where it takes you. If you are feeling challenged in your work outs, in day to day life, or you just want to take living to a higher level, use your 5 senses to take you away.
See appreciatively, listen intensely, smell deeply, taste using each and every taste bud, and feel the positive energy of what is going on inside and around you. Chances are you will find an abundance of things to be grateful for that you can get excited about...Starting Now!Taking Action:When your inner critic is getting the best of you...make a change in your thought process.Try the I Love That... phrase and see where it takes you.Really use your 5 senses to experience life a little more deeply...
surround yourself or just notice the beautiful things around you that you love, bring great smells into your life, wonderful music, the most comfortable fabrics, hug often, and savor the taste of the simplest thing like a juicy apple.Feel free to send your thoughts and comments. I would love to hear from you!Copyright 2002, Beth A.
