Waking, set your inner compass. Evoke the quality that you need (patience ..... courage ..... trust ...... good humour ...... resilience ....... forgiveness).
Think of that quality often through your day let it inspire you.

It certainly inspired me.
What's the first thing you think of when you get up ? Exercising in the morning not only gets your exercise routine out of the way so that you concentrate on getting to work or looking after the kids, it also puts you in a positive frame of mind for the day. With each session comes progressive improvement, the serotonin starts pumping and you renew faith in yourself that you've done the very best you could and becoming the person inside and out that you want to be.
While I was doing my exercise this morning, I realized that some of you may be unaware of some techniques that will build muscle faster. Building muscle obviously increases the total muscle mass of your body, increases your overall metabolic rate which consequently means that you are less likely to have excess calories to store as fat.
One of the ways in which you can train to build muscle faster is to make sure that the muscle fibers are broken more readily during your weight training sessions. Once the muscle fibers are broken, or damaged, the body will repair them and increase the size of the muscle fibers while you rest those muscles you worked.
Some of you may already know this technique, as it is not new. As I used it this morning, I thought I'd give it a mention. It has to do with the rhythm in which you lift weights and it requires control. When lifting a weight in the upward motion (the concentric phase), slowly lower the weight to its starting position (the eccentric phase). Count to three as you lower the weight to the starting position. The effect of this technique is that more muscle fibers are damaged which encourage muscle fiber growth.
Courage, faith, resilience.
