Rocky Balboa and Me

Okay, I gotta fess up. I use the secret so much in my life and it has worked so amazingly for me. I truly believe in the Law of Attraction and I have had countless experiences of coincidence, opportunity, and manifestation. Heck! I believe in it so much, I write this blog and I’m writing a book!

But there is one area that stumps me…and that’s the gym. Yes, for me it’s a room full of machines and heavy objects. Seems harmless enough – except for the negative beliefs, judgments, chatter, and thinking that I bring with me along with my workout bag.

Put me into a weightlifting contraption and the thoughts in my head sound like this, “Oh, I can’t do this. This is heavy. How many more reps? And another set? I don’t think I’m up for it. I’m tired. I’m thirsty! I feel faint! Boy, this is heavy.”

Part of me is saying, “Come on! What??? You can do it!! Yes, weights are heavy! If they were light it wouldn’t help much, okay?!?”
But the sludge of resistance, fear, negativity seems to swamp that hopeful thinking.

Hey, would Rocky talk to himself that way?
