The Power of Exercise!
The Power of Exercise!
I wanted to share with all of you my little secret to happiness.. EXERCISE!
It seems so cliche.. and we've all heard it 1000 times, but I am here to tell all of you that exercising has brought me back to life.
My ex-psycho was HORRIBLE. Some even said that my story was one of the worst they'd ever seen on lisaescott. I found that trying to stop my obsessive thoughts about him only made me think of him more.
There is a psychological study called the white polar bear. A professor stands at the front of the room and tells his students not to think of a white polar bear for one minute. Every time one thought of the white polar bear, they had to make a mark on a piece of paper.
Lo and behold.. after a minute.. each student had numerous marks on their paper. You see, trying not to think about something.. still means you're thinking about it.
For example, take dieting. If all day you're thinking "I'm not eating cake," the word cake is on your mind which makes you want it more.
When I exercise, I'm not thinking at all. When I exercise it is MY TIME. Noone else's. It is my time to listen to whatever music I want. It is my time to make my body, a precious instrument, as finely tuned as possible. If I have to think about the psycho, I let myself think about it at the gym knowing that the second I leave the gym, he leaves my mind.
Exercise! And I find that you have to look at exercising not as something you have to do because this makes it hard to get motivation. Remember how good you will feel when you leave the gym/are done with your walk/jog what have you. Hold on to that feeling!
