It’s been an interesting week at Ageless Muscle. Many clients came in with a game face because they needed to blow off some frustration. They attacked their weight training program like a professional athlete. To tell you the truth, it was a lot of fun to watch them make new gains in strength and stamina.
We all have many reasons to be frustrated in our daily lives, but I want everyone to know that performing exercise is one of the best medicines for many reasons.
Putting your body through the stress of exercise will produce endorphins that makes you feel better, plus gain confidence to tackle your problems. It’s not just for your physical being, but mental as well.
Don’t you agree, our daily lives of working, parenting and family is the most important responsibilities we have? These are the immediate relationships that we must invest our time in, not the things we can’t control.
How many of you are dealing with a personal tragedy? It could be lack of income, divorce, family death or a slew of multiple reasons.
I knew people who ran to the liquor bottle thinking they could drown their problems. Others ran to the buffet hoping food would comfort them. Not me, I used exercising and the weight room to help me feel better, open my mind, and put me on a better path to getting my life back together.
When I lost my son Army Specialist Dustin over eight years ago, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring many people through a weight lifting program. I would consult them during each weight training session to see the world more positively.
You see, at Ageless Muscle, Tina, Dylan and I are not only professional trainers, but many of our training programs turn into therapy sessions.
What I’m trying to convey today is for you take control of what you can control. What goes into your mind is what you allow. Don’t let others dictate your thinking process. Remember, you can’t always control what happens to you, but you have complete control how you will respond.
The weather these days has been wonderful. Get outside and take a long walk, listen to uplifting music, and think about all the things that you make you happy. I promise, it will be a game changer for your whole body.
Let’s all find a way to not only love ourselves, but to love each other. To get started, all it takes is exercise and a weight training program.
Happy Veteran’s Day to all of our heros!
