I have always felt running brings clarity to my brain. Oxygen is a good thing,I"m told.
Now,according to the University Of Aberdeen in Scotland,running makes it easier to solve
challenges.Two studies suggest your mind associates forward motion with the future.As
your body moves ahead,your brain is thinking ahead,which can trigger creative thinking.
As your brain is in that stage, creative ideas become more fluid.
When your preparing for your run,give yourself an extra minute and think about the biggest issue you want to deal with.If your sleepy,run later.Run at a relaxed pace when your thinking about issues in your life. If your running too fast,your brain is thinking about your pace.Your dealing with issues in your life. Issues that need fixing..Think about your problem at the START of your run and take just a few minuets.The rest of your run should be spent concentrating on breathing.You should feel calm and relaxed when your running. Remember any problem is fine to think about.
Sometimes if your problem is really tough,run with a friend and bounce ideas off them.I rarely run with people. Unless of course,it"s a certain lady friend ,that"s different.
Sometimes you will run into someone really heavy,tell them how great they look and mean it when you say it. A lady once walked up to me at a store. She said,"you don't
remember me,(I had no Idea!) but you used to run past me all the time telling me how
great I looked. My husband always put me down, but because of you, I lost over 110 lbs,"I assured her SHE is the one that should feel great.I will admit it feels good when
folks tell you that.
Focusing on one thing at a time is easy for most of you. I am always doing 12 things at once. Doing the hardest thing and the next hardest thing and so on,is a gift running
gives you.
Remember how bad your day might have gone today,you COULD be the 18 year old
cell mate of my son, He has been sentenced to life in prison. He is soon to be sent to a penitentiary.
Believe in your dreams
Believe in today
Believe that you are loved.
Believe that you make a difference.
Believe we can build a better world.
Believe the best is yet to be.
Believe in yourself.
I believe in you.
