Do You Believe In Your Own Potential?

Every action begins with an thought transmitting a signal from the brain to the body part telling it to move. When you lift a weight your brain tells your arm to lift it and you do. This is where the term mind over body comes from. Now you do have to take into account that there are physical limitations that could lead to injury or just not be done with your current state of strength. But for the most part if you believe in yourself you can get the job done.

Think about this, Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. But he decided in his mind that he was going to be the best basketball player in the world. He accomplished his task. I think it is important that everyone realizes that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to!!! Weather it's fitness, school, sports, dreams, etc. When you tell yourself you can do something you have pretty much done it, you just have to go through the motions. It's also important to put your goals down in writing and keep them posted where you see them every day to keep you on track.

Your goals need to be broken down with steps. Say you're benching 150 lbs and you want to get it up to 210 lbs. What you need to do is start by first setting a goal like "Bench 160 lbs by next Friday" and so on. You need to be able to see your progress. When you see your progress you gain more motivation knowing that you are making gains and not remaining stationary. Its a continuing process! Keep Moving Forward!!! It all starts with that first step and putting one foot in front of the other.
