Have you ever noticed that person in the gym that always seems to be wearing the same shirt every time he works out? Or a hat or shorts or whatever, no matter how old and holy it gets it's all they wanna work out in. It's their favorite ;)Maybe that person is you, I know I've had my share. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about always having a favorite piece of workout attire that seemed to help him "get in the zone." You see our mind is very powerful. It can provide great resistance, or assistance. Do you remember in the Disney movie Dumbo when Dumbo thought it was a magical feather that made him fly? He could fly all along without it but until he learned that he accredited flying to a crow's feather. Okay, maybe I'm getting off on a tangent here but if you know me, that doesn't surprise you at all. My point is that our mind is most often our biggest barrier. Dumbo was capable of flying without a feather but didn't BELIEVE he could fly without it. Arnold believed he got a better workout if he wore his favorite workout shirt. I used to have a hat that I wore till it was worn out because it helped me get a killer workout. It's not in a feather, a shirt, or a hat. It's in us regardless. We just have to tap into it. BELIEVE... So I'm leaving you today with a quote from none other than Arnold himself.
"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent. "
