Personal Training the MIND

Subconsciously our brains are wired to always match up what we can do with how strong or fit we are. Yet there are times where our unconscious mind takes over and pushes us to accomplish things we didn’t know were possible.

Its in those times where we see the biggest gains in strength, fat loss, movement, flexibility and cardio.

Our unconscious mind is fueled by our deep desires, which are “intangible forces” that will only exist in your mind until you act on them. The “other self” (aka unconscious mind) is more powerful than the physical self we see in the mirror yet we are scared to unleash it… Scared because we fear that we cannot see.

It makes logical sense to look at your age, weight, strength and match that with what you can or can’t do – that’s the subconscious mind at work, focusing on the physical things. However logic can often be detrimental to your success as it places limits on what you can do.

Before Rodger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile record, he was contemplating retiring from running…yet driven by something inside, (which at the time made no sense) he decided to set his goal for the to break the 4 minute mile mark.

I could only imagine the naysayers who he shared his goal with:

NO HUMAN HAD EVER RAN THE MILE UNDER 4 MINUTES, THAT’S NOT LOGICAL!

The logical naysayers were WRONG as they have been and always will be. Something in Bannister pushed him, an intangible force he felt deep inside that drove him to train like a maniac to accomplish an outrageous world record.

I’m not suggesting you try to break the 3 minute mile mark…but start listening deep inside to your gut NOT what you see in the mirror.

You want to body build?

Run a 5k?

Get 6 pack abs?

Then give yourself permission to listen to the “intangibles” and get started.

Intangible forces are never easy tasks…think of them like endless slabs of clay waiting to be sculpted – there’s more potential inside you then you could ever know…but just because its’ there does not make it easy us.

It WILL take hard work…

You WILL feel uncomfortable…

You WILL need coaching…

And You WILL want to quit at times…

But its there for you to take…

Just know YOU CAN.
