Yeah, I think everyone has gotten the word that they need to exercise their body but did you know that you also need to exercise your mind? Indeed, the mind and body both need their own food and exercise. The food part is easy, you just read, watch or listen to the recommended personal development materials and once you develop the discipline, the exercise part is easy too.
The exercise I recommend you start with is easy and will really pay off for you-if you do it. Instead of doing what most people do right before they go to sleep, and no, I don’t mean say your prayers, most of you do this after prayers; most people either run through the list of what they need to do tomorrow or they go over what they did or didn’t do today.
I say why not replace that with the imagination exercise; go to sleep with thoughts of victory. If you want a better job, better car, better house, whatever better you want, imagine yourself already having it. How would that feel? Feel that way, see yourself in the job, car, house, whatever and go to sleep with thoughts of satisfaction. If you want more money, improved health, a new or better relationship, imagine what that would feel like and visualize that til you fall asleep.
I promise if you do this, when you wake up it will be in a better frame of mind, your day will go better and you will move toward whatever goal you have. Don’t believe me? Try this, for the next week, do what you normally do and write down in the morning how you feel when you wake up, what dreams you remember, how your day goes, etc, then try this exercise for a week and track the same stats. And then, when you realize I am right, you can continue doing this exercise for the rest of your life.
