BODY MIND and SOUL

This is a cliché that's been watered down to rock bottom. Every fitness chain is using it for all their impersonal and anonymous activities they sell. Because in my opinion you don’t really train neither nor when you move as easy as possible in front of a television in an air-conditioned environment and your water bottle and pamper towel inches away. I don’t write this to sound macho but hand on your heart, is it really? It’s exercise yes, and there’s nothing wrong with that.. My point though is that every January every gym is crowded of people with a new year resolution who tries to accomplish something as easy as possible with as little resistance as possible. They don’t stay to long and in February it’s not crowded any longer. WHY?

In my opinion your mind has to be present and fight the resistance as well. Your muscles grow and get stronger the more resistance they face and so does the mind. So next time you don’t feel like working out remind yourself that you’re just facing some resistance and RIGHT NOW is the time to break through.

If you can manage this mindset with discipline your body and mind will create the soul of a warrior. You will win your daily battles and walk with pride and you will become unstoppable. The greater your self-discipline the greater your self-confidence.

In Philippines warrior is Mandirigma and the last couple of years we conduct this seminar in North Africa that we call “Mandirigma camp” with the slogan “Harder-Better-Stronger”. The harder you treat yourself, the stronger you will be and the better you will feel.

So what is the resistance you are facing today, and what are you going to do about it?
