What Is The Voice In Your Head Saying?

Tuesday, July 07, 2009

We all have a great amount of internal dialogue; an "inner voice" that is constantly judging, analyzing and finally, telling us what to do and how to act.

If your thinking is programmed correctly, then you see opportunities where others see problems and you will fight when others have given up.

So it is almost without saying that success is determined by your mind. What you say to yourself in your head determines whether you push forward in life and strive and fight for what you want or simply just give up and take whatever comes your way.

Your "inner voice" is the one that tells you you're too old, too tired, too busy or any other lame excuse it can come up with that makes you quit taking action and pulls you further from your dreams.

So often I see people arguing over workout systems, rep schemes, periodization models, and supplement usage, never realizing that if you lack the ability to stay focused and positive and dig down and fight through difficult obstacles, it won’t matter what pills you pop or what you use for a routine; when the going gets tough, you are simply going to break.

Learning to switch your negative thoughts to positive and push through discomfort is perhaps the single most important discovery you can ever make, as a determined athlete who can get rid of his head trash and refuses to quit will succeed with almost any routine.

As a matter of fact, I would say that your ability to change your negative, judgmental, whining inner voice to a constructive, do-whatever-it-takes voice is more important than any other variable.

So pay attention to your inner voice, and if it's constantly spewing forth stinkin' thinkin', then every time you think a negative thought, replace it with a positive one and then follow that up with a positive action.

Before long you'll be tearing it up in the gym and in your everyday life as well.

Watch this great video from Nike about just this very topic.

PS Over the past couple weeks my links to videos have not worked properly. I'm working with my web guy now to fix that, but in the meantime you can go to my website and look at the old blog posts and see the vids, as I have fixed all the past ones.

How Deep Runs Your Desire?

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

Everybody wants to have a great body. People show up on my doorstep telling me how disgusted they are of being fat and tired and not feeling sexy and that they're ready to change...to do whatever it takes. I say okay, here's CrossFit, the most effective training program in the world, and it'll change your life...all you have to do is..do it.

And all will try, but only some will stick and do the work and eat the food and drink the water and get the sleep and leave it on the gym floor 5 days a week and guess what...they get amazing results...they achieve success. 

But there exists still a large part of the population that talks a good talk but then gets side-tracked by life every time they would just start to see results. It seems like no matter how good their intentions are, something always comes up that takes them out of the race. 

And for many people, that pattern has come to define their whole life...their very existence. Perhaps you've read the success books, been to the success seminars, hired the trainers, bought the prepared food, taken the fat burners, had the surgery and tried everything there was to get in shape, but still...it eludes you. And if that's the case, then I think I have your solution.

For you see, to be successful at anything in life requires just one thing above all others. Just one thing, that when fully implemented, becomes the game changer. The gentleman in this video sums up the answer quite nicely, so watch it, then ask yourself if your level of desire for success matches his criteria. And if doesn't...what might happen if it did, and how would it change your life and the lives of everyone around you?                                

Check it out and see for yourself ; )
