I actively play a role in my health and always look for a simple, easy, and effective way to get in shape. “Push yourself “, is not my style. I don’t like to put too much pressure on myself. Although “Push yourself” works for some people, I prefer to be kind and gentle on myself and enjoy my chosen exercise routine. No matter what my fitness goals are, I can design an exercise plan that allows me to reach them with pleasure.
Sometime ago I was introduced to a very interesting book, “Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth” written by Peter Kelder. In this book I found the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation; a series of exercises developed over centuries in the monasteries of Tibet. This is a time proven method that has always worked for me since discovering it for myself. There are five simple exercises to reach youth, health, and vitality. Any one of them alone is helpful, but all five are required to get the best results. I began to preform each rite three times daily and as I watched them start to contribute to my health, I gradually increased my repetitions until I was preforming each rite twenty one times a day. Soon enough I slept better and every morning I awoke feeling more refreshed and energetic. I found the rites to be a perfect mind and body discipline. Each rite has its own health benefits too, so you are able to work out multiple aspects of your body.
I always test something out before recommending it and as I do them every day, I suggested them to some of my clients, which include people of all ages. The amazing five rites represent a system of exercises that can have a positive impact on the whole body. I love doing the five rites in the comfort of my home as well as going to the gym once a week. This exercise plan works for me pretty well. If my schedule does not let me go to the gym, I don’t get upset, I have my wonderful five rites always with me. Staying motivated is the key to being consistent in your plan. I keep my motivation alive by surrounding myself with motivators. They remaind me to keep my health a top priority. It can be a picture, a note, or a quote; I keep a picture of a beautifully fit woman on my refrigerator, I keep my gratitude journal open with an inspiring quote, or a note stuck to my mirror that says, “You are doing great, keep it up!” Motivation gives me the energy to be consistent, to be present, to be prepared and to be happy. To get motivated to work out, I just talk to myself. I tell myself that I will feel so much better mentally and physically after I work out. Consider the amazing five rites approach to getting in shape and staying healthy and fit throughout your life.
