Aletha aka Williemina

I’d like to say that many of my problems are resolved when I slow down and meditate and get in a relaxed state of mind. I’ve been asked by many friends as to how to start their journey to a better health and even compete.  It took some time to think this through because even though I’ve been an athlete for 15 competitive years and a personal trainer for 10, I still felt that there’s so much I still need to learn.  Getting into figure is something new for me. 

But, as one of my friends told me, it’s in me, to do great things because I have a great approach to my training.  What is this approach?  I start my writing down my vision.  Remember actions are created by a verbal recital of your thoughts.  Thoughts are, in turn, created by words.  That brought me back to my Daily Words where in Genesis, God create the world with His Words.  Words are very powerful and thus, when you have a vision, write it down, believe it that it is already given to you, and be thankful for what is received.

So, in writing down your vision for losing weight, gaining muscle, competing, or whatever it may be, you start by acting on them.  I create a dream board and I place a picture of when I was a track runner on it, a cross to remind me daily of where my blessings come from, etc.

In writing down my vision, I write down steps as to how I will achieve it (with resourses like trainers, finances, etc).  Next to each steps I write down dates I want to achieve them (with a pencil).  Whenever, I get discouraged, I go back to this journal to remind me of what I’m trying to accomplish.

 God bless and chat soon.
