Want Good Motivation For Exercising

[Dan Arnautu]

@Afonso The only thing you need is a vision. When the vision is strong enough, motivation won't be a problem. 

Spend 10-20 minutes visualizing yourself exactly how you would like to look and feel:

What posture would you have? How much more confident would you be? How would people look at you differently? How would your clothes fit? What would it be like to be able to perform amazing physical acrobatics or have insane strength relative to your bodyweight? How would it be to know  that you can add one more pound each week to every exercise you perform? How would going to the gym skyrocket your level of discipline? What other habits would it affect? How would exercising improve the relationship with your body?

Figure what you want most, reinforce the image of the destination in your mind everyday and be patient.

Also, remember that you will backslide a lot. Just get back on track when it happens and don't sweat it.

Take a quick look at the post "A Conscious Approach to Exercise" for more in depth. 

You have developed your awareness to spot superficial motivations for exercising, but not enough to see the truth of what exercise really is.
Exercise is not about getting big, gaining confidence, building muscle to "look good", getting a six-pack, so on and so forth. 
Those are simply minor bonuses to the whole ordeal. 

The human body is buildt to manage extreme feats, more so than any modern man knows. It is a machine, a powerful machine. 
The body and mind are in the same vessel, they are joined in harmonic balance. So, what then happens when a human gains so much resource that it does not need to utilize the bodys potential? Attrophy. Of both body and mind, because they are One.

Exercise isnt only exercise for the body, its also for the mind. For consciousness. When you truly train, you push boundaries, experience things that you havent ever experienced before. Illuminating consciousness unto those experiences. You do what you litterally were created to do.
Boundaries are set by ego. "noo, no I cannot do that". When those boundaries are broken the ego is broken and consciousness is flowing. 
If you go to the gym with the sole vision of beating your boundaries, you will see the truth of what exercise truly is. 
All of those physical effects are merely the benefits of exercise, they are manifestations. Results from pushing and destroying boundaries.
It is the act of destroying those boundaries that is the truth of exercise and it is there you will find your true motivation.
