It’s great when you discover one. After a days teaching today I decided to go for a short run along the beach. I could hear some resistance in my thoughts and it was clear what they were saying: You’re too tired to go for a run! You’ve been teaching all day! Just sit at home and rest!
Sure, that’s possible BUT I decided to question that thought a little…
After some thought, I found out that I believed that exercise takes my energy. Of course to a certain extent this is true, but as with all beliefs I did a quick ecology check and found that it doesn’t serve me all that well.
Sure, there have probably been times where I truly did need the rest and exercise was not going to help.
But I’m willing to be there have been far more times where it was just the ticket.
Here’s a belief I’m trying on for size: exercise gives me energy- the more I do the more I get.
By the way I went for the run and it gave me energy. Cool
