Yesterday I was thinking about what alot of people fail to do after a workout.
The single most important thing that can keep you motivated forever...FOREVER!
And most people don't do it.
This one thing will block out any procrastination, lazyness, negative thoughts, and your ability to control your heart rate and catch your breath almost effortlessly.
What you do AFTER your workout sets the stage for every subsequent workout.
I'm talking about a "Meditative Cool Down".
Immediately following your training, kneel or sit down and close your eyes.
Feel the vibration of your heart through your chest, at that moment you realize, just like breathing, how we don't pay enough attention to the heart and lungs.
When you bring all of your attention on your heart you realize the importance of your life, how your heart has been beating all of your life without a break, feeding all of your organs.
In that moment if anything was bothering you or stressing you out before starting your training, you find out it has quickly disappeared. Listen to your heartbeat, you feel alive and grateful to be able to be here and experience it.
This is just one element of the Meditative Cool Down, apply this one thing and during the hardest of times in your workouts you'll be looking forward to reaching the end of it so you can sit or kneel and just listen to best beat in the world, your heart.
