Yesterday I was beat down at the gym. I did something like 110 minutes of cardio divided between two sessions, and I did arms. I was also recovering from the exhausting workout Sunday where I decided doing 5 sets of lunges was a stellar idea.
So going up the stairs to my second workout took effort. I was clearly dragging. There are two flights of stairs up to my gym, and each one took effort. I didn’t look like I had any energy, and I was looking forward to just being done. To coming home, to going to bed. Anyway, I looked at myself in the big mirror and caught an image of me dragging ass.
So I said to myself: “Self, what would you look like if you were looking forward to this trip.” And so I put some false bounce in my step. It hurt a little going up each step, but it ws managable. And I hopped and danced a little, just put the spring in the step that you do when you’re looking forward .
And instantly I felt better. It wasn’t perfect, but I felt like I was glad and lucky to be there, and to have this opportunity to make my body healthy. I still felt the sore, but my mind went to those times where you just float up the stairs and run around.
So I’d say a miniexperiment with NLP led me to believe that it works OK.
More in a bit. I’m behind on lots of stuff, as the sidebar reflects.
