Believe in Yourself!

Activity: Walking
Distance: 2 miles
Time: 36 minutes

I finally developed my full training schedule for the 1/2 Marathon. I used the one at The Walking Site. I adjusted it to fit the date of the marathon. I created a calendar and used clip art to decorate it - make it fun! I will post it on the refrigerator.

You know how you read something or hear something over and over again. Then one day, you hear the same message but with a different twist and WHAM - it hits you! If finally sinks in! well that is what I recently experienced. I was listening to a 4 part teleconference training through Seriesse - A company I have joined. I am lucky to be on the McCortney Team- Mindy had arranged a teleconference with Author, coach, and Speaker David Benzel. He did an excellent teleconference on achieving what you desire in life. I have done a lot of goal setting in my life - actually this was influenced a lot by Anthony Robbins. What struck me was the power of BELIEF. I understand how your belief system develops and can shape your life. He said some things that really had impact. I found out this was one reason I typically would fall short of achieving some goals Through listening to this, I created a positive belief that I am now repeating throughout the day. I say this to myself as if what I desire is already occurring - don't say / write something as if it may happen.

Here is my new belief:
"I am an Athlete training for a 1/2 Marathon. I eat, train and make choices for peak performance"

This is working for me. Repetition is the mother of skill - I have been stating this several times throughout the day.

I highly recommend David's books and websites:

David Benzel's newest book - you can get it at Amazon:
From Chump to Champ: How Individuals Go from Good to Great
