A daily run and imagination

Every day you go for a run.

Sometimes you feel yourself lagging, so you imagine there’s a tiger on your tail, and that adrenaline gives you a turbo boost.

Sometimes you feel like quitting, so you picture a pot of gold at the end, and that helps you finish.

A running expert says you should act like you’re running on hot coals, to keep you on the front of your feet. You try it, and it improves your stamina and energy.

Sometimes, just for a change, you try running barefoot, or with your eyes closed, or with your arms out like an airplane. Every time you hear or think of a new way to run, you try it to see how it works and how you feel. The variety is fun.

All you changed was the image in your mind, and that changed your emotions and actions.

Ideas and beliefs are tools. Choose them for the desired effect.
