What would you think if I were to tell you that there was a way for you to love working out?
I know what you might be thinking. You might be remembering how terrible it feels when you try to run while you are gasping for breath, or how tough it can be to keep pushing when your muscles are screaming for mercy.
Who in their right mind would ever love this???
Everybody who gets into the right frame of mind can learn to love their workouts.
It’s only a matter of time, but you can get there. The secret to loving your workouts is to realize first and foremost that love is a verb. It is something that you do. As you do the actions of loving something, the feeling of love will eventually follow.
Let me share with you an excerpt from Stephen Covey’s book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
At one seminar where I was speaking on the concept of proactivity, a man came up and said, “Stephen, I like what you are saying. But every situation is so different. Look at my marriage. I’m really worried. My wife and I just don’t have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just don’t love her anymore and she doesn’t love me. What can I do?”
“The feeling isn’t there anymore?” I asked.
