Typical Morning Conversation

ME:  I want to workout.

me:  You don’t have time.

ME:  I have to make the time.  Working out makes me feel good.

me:  You’re crazy, you don‘t have time to exercise.  You have way too much to do, and not enough time to do it in.  What about the laundry?

ME:  Forget about what I have to do.  Exercise gives me more energy, which results in doing things more efficiently.  So either my things will get complete anyway, or I will better prioritize my tasks and the things that really don’t need to get done, won’t.  Exercise gives me the ability to create time.

me:  You don’t have the energy to work out.  You’re too tired all the time.  You never want to get up early in the morning; you would rather sleep.

ME:    The more I exercise, the more energy I will create.  Eventually exercise will not be a choice, it will be what my body craves everyday. It will be the energy level for which my body will not settle for less.

me:  You have too much on your mind to exercise.  You won’t be able to focus on creating a workout routine because you have too many things to think about and deal with.

ME:  Exercise is a way to a more focused mind.  When I exercise, I think more clearly and more succinctly.  Exercise helps me dissolve the thought layers that weigh me down and  don’t serve me.  The negative thoughts have no power when I exercise. 

me:  You don’t enjoy running on the treadmill.  You’ll be miserable.

ME:  While I certainly don’t admit to loving running, I know it doesn’t matter what exercise I do.  I listen to empowering books while I am on the treadmill, and time melts away quickly. My mind opens to new possibilities for my life.  I complete my run and feel energized, powerful, and free. 

Free of weight. . .

Free of toxic thoughts. . .

Free of limits. . .

Free of body. . .

Just ME.
