YESSSSSS!!!!!...Feels good to be BACK TO RUNNING!!!!
...I loveeed my run yesterday. It's the course at the Top of the Reseda mountains where I ran my first 1/2 Marathon last year mid June. It was challenging, and I did a one hour run. It's funny though, how I have come FULL CIRCLE now...again...finding myself HERE 1 year later at the same weight, yet definitely more mentally strong after having ran a 1/2 marathon...& a FULL 26.2 mile Marathon in the year's time span!
...On the drive over yesterday,...I did feel a sense of FEAR of the mountain. Then I started thinking "Wait! What are you scarred of?!?! The mountain!?!? Or yourself not being able to PUSH yourself up the mountain and down?!?!".......I told myself...the mountain is JUST A MOUNTAIN..the fear doesn't stem from that, because You do not have to MOVE the entire mountain...you just have to MOVE YOURSELF. Then I told myself..."Where does Movement stem from anyway? Where does Action stem from?!?!....ACTION/MOVEMENT stems from the MIND!!!!...Anything the mind has done ONCE is a subconscious memory and what the MIND can do ONCE, the mind can create AGAIN!!!...Every action begins with Visualization...even if you haven't ever done it before and you can picture yourself DOING IT...then YOU CAN Physically DO IT!!...Because PHYSICAL ACTION stems from the MIND's ACTION. I told myself "You only have to move YOURSELF, and NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS PHYSICALLY, YOU CAN DO THIS IN YOUR MIND...so the PHYSICAL BODY WILL FOLLOW!"
...that's the truth. Action stems from the mind. The belief that we can DO IT!...That is what will "GAURANTEE" your success!...Because you tell yourself...no matter what my body does..."MY MIND WILL NOT FAIL ME! AND BECAUSE MY MIND WILL NOT FAIL ME, NEITHER WILL MY BODY, BECAUSE MY MIND COMMANDS MY PHYSICAL BODY TO DO WHAT MY MIND WANTS!
...period. So I got to the hill, and whipped it out. 1 hour of HUGE hill runs,..because my mind can do it. I went with my old running partner and it felt AMAZING!!!
...The wind was Splashing on my face, the assorted greens on the flowers and plants and trees were seeping out this amazing naturistic smell, the bright oranges and purples and pinks of the flowers looked fantastic with the contrast of the bright blue clouded sky behind it. The way the sun was melting into the horizon, and I could see all the houses of rich people in the wayside of the mountain. Precious. Classic.
...I really forgot how "ONE WITH NATURE and MYSELF" I can be when I am doing what I love! ...Because I LOVEEEE RUNNING!
...I truly decided that I am doing that FULL marathon in October. I am doing the 1/2 Marathon in June...and Not the Mind, Not the Body, nor the Spirit of Defeat in me or around me...will STOP ME!
...No way. Just this time....I will attain the results PERMANENTLY!
I had a session yesterday with my Hypnotherapist friend. We barter and exchange our services to each other. It's pretty funny. But all in all.....we each get our FREE hypnotherapy session for each other every Monday. I had a weight loss session yesterday and I am feeling CONFIDENT and MOTIVATED! We droppped in there 135lbs! 1250 cals...and FOOD is no longer LOVE in my life,...because I have love oozing from everywhere!
...We are going to continue working on each other...her for business success...until we are ROCK STARS!!! Got to love it!!! I'm speaking on a Panel of SUCCESS tonight for school. They are paying me as well...and I'm excited!!! It's such an honor!!! There are going to be like 80 Hypnotherapists there interviewing and questioning "HOW I BECAME SO SUCCESSFUL SO FAST!" ...and at least 450 other graduating Hypnotherapists with me in Sept. would have LOVED to be chosen as one of the 3 to speak on the panel!...wow!
...crazy huh!?!?! ...I think so. I dreamed it. Just didn't ever think it'd happen even before I completely graduate. Thank you God!!!
