GET MOTIVATED WITH DPM PERFORMANCE! blog ed. 8

The countdown is on: 2 weeks to Christmas! Know, for the first time ever, I am super organised and finished my last bit of Christmas shopping on Friday! How are you travelling? Make sure you don't have the same attitude to your christmas shopping as you do your own training - it will get done one day.

Following on from last weeks posting about dreaming big, I want you to have a think about these words from Zach Even-Esh, from undergroundstrengthcoach.com:

"I want you to start "feeling" what it's like to be in your new body. Yes, the body you
want 3 months from now, 6 months from now, or 1 year from now, you pick the time frame.

You also get to choose how YOU want to look! Don't worry about figuring out HOW you
will look better and feel better. Just TRUST that this is what you need to make it
happen for you.

And YES, you WILL lose that gut! (or whatever area you are targeting)

OK, back to feeling and visualizing.....

Get really detailed here, there are NO rules to this activity with regards to any
limits. There are NO limits if you choose to live this way!

Every single day, preferably a few times each day, go to a quiet area .

Close your eyes and FEEL what it's gonna be like when everyone compliments you on your
arms, your six pack abs, your muscular legs, your ass kickin' new body.

FEEL what it's like to have your wife going crazy over your rock hard body....or, for
single guys....the girls at the beach turning their head every time you pass them by!

(take in mind that this was written by a bloke for men as his target audience but use the appropriate substiution for yourself).

You can do this, you WILL achieve this. Yes, you will have to walk the walk, but if you
can conceive this picture in your mind clearly and vividly, then the body will achieve
this!

Combine this with the power of walking the walk when you eat and train and you WILL
achieve your visions!

Not bad hey - I do something simular when I am out walking. I try and get out for a longish walk at least once a week just to stretch the legs and give me some thinking time. I visualise what things will look like and how my life will be when I achieve my big dream.

Try it out - what have you got to lose?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

This one is for the men reading, or it might be interesting news for your partner, Dad etc.

Pepitas Provide a Powerful Prostate-Protecting Punch
By Kelley Herring

If you're concerned about prostate health, carve a pumpkin. Or at least make sure you eat those seeds.

Pumpkin seeds, or pepitas, have been used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) in Europe for centuries. And modern science can now explain why.

The shelled seeds are a rich source of phytonutrients called curcurbitacins. (The outer shell is mainly fiber.) Not only do these nutrients help reduce inflammation in the body, they also reduce the conversion of testosterone to a byproduct called DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which contributes to prostate gland enlargement.

But that's only one part of pepitas' prostate-protecting punch. These little seeds are also one of the best sources of zinc - a mineral that helps prevent healthy prostate cells from transforming into cancerous ones.

You can get the prostate-protecting benefits of pumpkin seeds in any season. They make a great snack, and they're available year round in the produce section of your grocery.

Try substituting pepitas for the pine nuts in your favorite pesto recipe for a healthy twist.

TAKE HOME POINT:

Get some pepitas or pumpkin seeds next time you get your groceries and snack on them for great health benefits!


Get out and make it a great week.

What's your excuse?
