Our mind is the first to know what IS possible. The question is: do we pay attention to what possibility it see's and believes?

While I prepare for the Tough Mudder obstacle race at Northstar in 3 days....I begin to realize this is REALLY the first time I am starting to THINK about the race, as I know I need new shoes, some gear etc. --to get prepared.  When I competed for the first time - show day, was soooo in my head everyday...the visualizing, the unknown, the head games my own self played, the vulnerability etc---and I laugh (at myself) now because all I was doing is presenting myself, the hard work I did day in and day out to lean and build my physique.  My presentation of myself was walking in sparkly heals in a very skimpy sparkly suit with jewelry and make up (glam glam) posing for judges and a room full of people on a stage....No weather conditions, no obstacles - just walking the stage to music.  I over thought every second on how that day might go for 6 months straight - everyday I was breathing and visualizing and focusing.  Here I am 3 days away from a race that will TEST ME physically and mentally yet I remain calm and ready no matter what.  No head games - just ready to check this off my bucket list and get it done.  I have to share that this past week, my food has been straight, meals clean, loving my Arbonne Nutrition helping my body health wise but also recovery wise-- my head filled with positive people and positive reading ---therefore I feel ready.  My food is my mood and it all works in synergy to what I am thinking, feeling and how I act out my day.

The point of my entry today is... while I was at the gym today, I was reading a chapter in my favorite book of all times: "Three Feet from Gold" and it made me realize I needed to share this today.  Maybe I just needed to write it out for my own self...or maybe you needed to hear it....I don't know....but here it goes:

Our mind will not allow us to think of something we cannot accomplish, so when you think of something, you know IT IS possible...because an image appears after we think it .....that means you know it is possible and if you can think or dream it - YOU NEED TO DO IT!  YOU CAN DO IT!  Doesn't mean right now, maybe you need to prepare a little or get some coaching to get ready....but follow through is SO IMPORTANT!  Remember when you commit to something, (make a goal) it is a signed contract with yourself!

Wish me luck this weekend as we kick butt in Tough Mudder with our amazing team representing Mini's House of Pain - the world class training facility right here in El Dorado Hills we have been trainign at for over 10 years!  You shoudl come check it out!  In fact - join us this Sunday for the Open House Grand Opening Celebration at 4pm - come check out what the unique gym in all about.  Food, drinks, music, raffles and fun.  Its a family friendly event.  Or message me with questions.
