The Inspiration Muscle
When you're tentative about your motivation getting out the door for a run, if often helps to read (possibly out loud) the following list of benefits you receive after running:
- Your attitude is better after every run
- Stress is released, often completely dissolved
- Natural body chemicals (endorphins) relax the body, reducing or eliminating muscle aches and pains
- Your spirit is engaged, leaving you with feelings of accomplishment, confidence, and strength.
- Body and mind are connected, giving you the confidence that comes with being a more "complete" person.
- Your right brain is engaged, energizing your creative and imaginative resources.
- You're learning connections to hidden inner resources which kick in whenever you're under stress.
Today was except for my nutrition (will start with that next week) according to my plan.
I will be back tomorrow,

I love the article Juli! Might have to put this in my sidebar for inspiration.
Juli,
Great inspiration. I should read out loud every day.
thanks, for sharing this insightful article.
I LOVED your list, Juli! I am a creative, right brained person, who'd a'thunk that running would bring that out!
Thank you Lilla, I love it too, I printed it and read it when I fell not "in the mood".
Hahaha, Larry, you are full of inspiration yourself.:-)
Hey Buffedstuff, yeah, it is a pleasure. ;-)
Shari, running makes you so creative...and walking as well...let's write a book: The artist's way of running...;-)
