I'm now in the gym on a treadmill later on I'm going to go do the other stuff in the gym just want to share something many many years ago I signed up to a group that we were doing aerobic exercise together and I really had success with it but I was on and off like I went for a few months and then I stopped going and I i' never liked it I hated to do the exercise was very very difficult for me but I went because I knew that I had to do it and I'm a really disciplined person so I knew I had to do it so I went and I did it but whatever excuse I found not to do it that day I didn't go that week I didn't go all of a sudden I saw myself months at a time of not going to the gym about 5 months ago everything changed 5 months ago what happened was I I listened to something I don't know I I was watching Tony Robbins one of his motivational things and something clicked in when he was talking about exercise I cannot tell you exactly what he said because I don't remember I just remember that it clicked into me and basically what I decided after watching him for whatever he said I don't know what he said is that I have to look at exercise not as something that I have to do in order to be healthy or because otherwise I'm not going to be healthy rather I have to do it as a way of life because if I think if I'm thinking that the reason I'm doing exercise is because otherwise I'm not going to be healthy if I feel good and I don't feel that I'm missing anything in my health which this is the case for me now and every excuse that I have not to go okay I'm healthy why do I need to go so I made a change in my mind about exercise that it became something that I do every I do it now 3 days a week but it's like something I do 3 days a week as a way of life it has nothing to do with me being healthy let me switch your hands my hand hurts me from holding the phone so I'm doing it every week the regardless how I feel and it's a way of same as I have to eat the same as I have to do other stuff know human stuff that I have to do and not everything I do is because it's Pleasant or it's not pleasant the same thing this is a I have to breathe you have to this is what you you know so in other words it's not I made a shift in my mind I used to think that I'm doing the exercise because now I have to do it so now I'm going to do it and now I know I'm doing the exercise because same as I have to go to sleep every day every night I have to sleep so same thing I have to do exercise for me it helped because it made a mind chip it's not like I have to do it now it's like as long as you live but either you're going to do exercise this is how a person has to live so it's part of living that's one thing that changed everything one more thing that I want to do with another post maybe I'll post it tomorrow and uh I'll tell you what what the other things that changed and by the way you want to see the gym the beautiful gym it's I'm going it's a man only gym and it's amazing I have a you know it's an amazing uh atmosphere here it's an atmosphere of people who work on themselves who take care of themselves so I see you tomorrow with the other CP
