Imagination Motivation!

How many times have I sat up in the morning with good intentions to be good to my body? One? A hundred? Um… Ten years? 20?
Today I woke up with GREAT intentions. It is now 1:12 p.m. and I still have not exercised. This always happens if I do NOT change my clothes. A great motivator is to change into some work-out clothes. When I get finished posting here…I am changing my clothes!! Nothing motivates me more than when I look in the mirror, with my work-out clothes on, and imagine the body I want to see there. I will get it - it is already mine. It may not match exactly to my imagination…but it will.
The goal this week IS to jump-rope until tired and walk 20 minutes - daily. Along with that - stand about three feet from a nice wall and do 20 push-ups against the wall. If it is too hard…move feet forward, too easy move feet back. It should be hard but not impossible. My goal this year is to do 20 REAL push-ups before summer. Upper body strength is very important. Of course, strong arms with a little muscle has a nice look to it in a swimming suit!
Tonight, at bedtime - I will close my eyes and imagine 3 things I am doing to benefit my health. For example, close my eyes and I can imagine how in the morning and every morning I wake up feeling refreshed and ready for my day. Waking up and working out (with my work-out clothes on). I can imagine how good I feel after the 20 minute walk and how much energy I have after drinking a green smoothy. I can imagine being aware of how much water I am drinking and to make an effort to drink at least 6 eight ounce glasses of water, if not more.
Let us see the goals we want to accomplish.
Let us see (in our minds eye) those goals as if they were already accomplished!
