What is THE WORST training tool we have available to use? Our eyes …
Our eyes mislead us while our best training tool and the one seldom used is our Mind.
The images our eyes capture play a large role in how we organize our perceptions. If you are capable of daydreaming at work?!? Then you can learn how to visualize and meditate.
Let’s start early this morning for good measure:
· A good way to start is to simply think about your home or apartment.
· Imagine that you are standing outside and looking at your front door.
· Describe your door in detail (aloud). What color is the door? What is the shape of the door handle? How high is the door? What does it sound like if you knock on it?
· The part of your mind that you are using to describe the door is the part we use for visualization.
· Now, imagine your door in a different color. First blue, then red, etc. Use your imagination and pretend if you need to. The more you can pretend the better your imagination will be.
Like many “things” in our lives, we forget as we age. Hand a thoughtful little dude a Matchbox car and watch what happens …
The Workout-
There are literally millions of yoga poses, trillions is actually more actuate of a number. Try this: Stand on one foot, hand on the hip of the leg firmly planting you to the ground, your other hand picking at your ear vigorously (keep picking until you find something). Let’s call this pose: CultFita Hasta Padangustasana
True, passionate yoga practice has Nothing to do with the poses.
So on that lovely note, today is a Rest Day. You are free to obsess over your killer pose … We will be going for a Walk and focusing/visualizing on proper breathing?!? <— Hint – Hint

found a sock! no wonder i don’t have a single pair! loving the new look! Happy New Year CultFit!
We finally solved the “great sock” mystery of 2012 😉
Wishing you the best this New Year!!!
Love the new look!
Thank you, take care today and be well. 🙂
I only wish I were that flexible. 🙂 I love the piece about visualization. I really need to do more of that.
I’m gonna yell at ‘cha … Hold on!
Flexibility means little, yeah it looks cool to others. It’s how you feel inside that matters the most. If you can stand on one foot, be fully present, still mind and pure breath? While picking your ear? That’s all that matters. 🙂
Great advice. Thanks! You can yell at me any time. 🙂
Those gifs are really cool! its 3D without the use of 3d glasses.
His work is amazing!

I always enjoy your company and kind words. Thank you for your continued support and you know what? We need a little more “Cow Bell” over here … 😉
Cow Bell….how do you top that? Really?
LOL! Love the CultFita Hasta Padangustasana!! 😉
HA! I thought you would like this one 🙂 Like always, a rather simple message loaded up with a lot of meaning.
Take care today!
Love the yoga pose! Also, is it sad that I don’t even know the color of my front door? Hmm…I think I day dream a little TOO much! 😉
It’s not sad at all! Goodness, the moment I wake up in the morning I am already daydreaming. 🙂
Love those pictures! Also the mind is a wonderful tool that I forget to employ as often as I should!
We all do at times. I know I certainly do, almost every single day actually. 🙂
that things crazy looking~
They are great aren’t they?!? I’m amazed in the detail and the amount of work that goes into making them, pretty cool. I hope you are having a great Friday … Take care!
In the infamous words of Outkast, your new look is So Fresh and So Clean!
Thanks! That track totally came up on my Pandora feed yesterday at work. My first reaction? Turn it up of course! Have a great weekend.
