Motivation and Exercise: How dedicated are you?

In my continuing bid to "get fit" I am in the process of challenging my mind and body - again. As you know I am learning how to pole dance, which is challenging enough one might say, but on Saturday I went to a flexibility class at the studio. Why? Well my personal philosophy is "because I can".

I have to say my body complained at the intensity of the stretching - but a hot bath later that same day did ease out the pain in my lower back....and I have already booked a spot for next saturday's class. The intermediates class starts this Wednesday - so shall be ready to stretch out the muscles again by then.

Anyway, I was watching the final of the program "so you think you can dance" last night. Not only do these people have awesome talent, but the dedication to their "sport" their art and their craft was evident. In learning the routines, the hours they must spend practicing and honing their skills....and of course performing. Which of course made me think about motivateme and my readers of the daily dose of motivational medicine....and of course my own personal journey. When you know what you want, and you want it so badly you will do whatever you need to do. You will spend half the night working out the answer to a problem. You will get up early to start again. You will put in the hours and days to practice, practice, practice, so that when you come to "perform" you know what you are doing and you are going to do it well.

Dedication, persistence and a clear objective...once you have those three aspects worked out, you will achieve your personal goals.....guaranteed.
