Pure Energy Commentary

Hello my special VIP member. Welcome to the commentary for ‘Pure Energy.’ I want to talk more about this topic of pure energy, because pure energy, consistent energy, is the basis, the foundation for health. It really is the main measurement; the main benefit of great health.

Just imagine having a lot of a consistent, high level of energy all day long, every single day. Imagine how much more you would accomplish, how much more you would do and how much better you would do it if you just never felt tired or fatigued. Sounds great, let’s learn how to do it.

Okay. So you learned about some of the food that you can eat and how you can change the way you eat in order to alkalize your body and get more of a high, consistent level of energy in your life; a higher level of health. I talked about that in a past VIP Lesson called Energy Triangle.

Well, now we’re talking about the other important thing, which is exercise, which is activity and we want to figure out how should we move our bodies in order to create the most energy and to create a consistently high level of energy that lasts all day long and is available to us every single day.

Now let me talk again about that term or phrase ‘alkalizing.’ Now we’re using it as a verb, it’s not usually used as a verb, but to be alkaline. Alkaline is an adjective. We’re talking about chemistry here and we’re talking about PH. I don’t know if you remember from your chemistry class way back in school, but substances have PH. For example, water has PH.

And it’s measured from zero to 10, so a low PH number means that the substance is acidic, it’s acid. So like a PH of one means very acidic; something that has a lot of acid.

And a very strong acid, of course, can burn your skin and it’s really terrible. Well, the opposite of acid is alkaline. So a super high PH like a nine or 10, that’s alkaline. An example of an alkaline substance is baking soda. Baking soda is alkaline.

And water is neutral. It has a neutral PH. If it’s good, clean, natural water, just like plain water, it will have a PH of seven. I think it’s seven, right? Yeah, seven; a PH of seven is neutral. We say that’s neutral.

In fact, maybe PH goes to 14. I can’t remember. I’m not a chemist, so this isn’t a chemistry class. I’m sorry. But the basic idea is the higher the number means more alkaline and the lower the PH number means more acidic and in the middle is water.

Now, actually, some healthy water, if it has a lot of minerals in it, it will actually be somewhat alkaline.

Now why is all this important and why am I talking about this chemistry stuff? Well, it’s because our bodies respond differently when they are acidic or when they are alkaline and you will feel physically different. You will feel a very different level of energy if your body is somewhat acidic compared to if it’s somewhat alkaline and it just so happens that our bodies are more healthy when we are alkaline.

You can actually get a little piece of paper, a special kind of paper and you can put it on your tongue or you can pee on it and it will measure the PH of your body. And if your body is acidic usually you’re going to feel kind of tired, kind of fatigued and if your body is alkaline you’re usually going to feel quite good. Your mind will be very clear and you’re going to have a lot of physical energy.

So that’s why this is important. This is kind of your basic body chemistry. That’s one of the most important things that determines how you actually feel; the actual level of health and energy in your body. The unfortunate thing is that the way we eat now tends to make our bodies very acidic. So packaged, processed foods, sugary foods, they all create a lot of acid in our bodies, which then eventually makes us feel tired and if you do that again and again and again, every day, you just get this general feeling of lower energy and fatigue.

Some people don’t even realize that they are unnaturally tired. They just think it’s normal because it’s the way they always are. They think well, this is normal and they don’t realize until they do something or they change the way they move and they change the way they eat or something happens and their body gets more alkaline and suddenly they feel fantastic. Then they realize oh, my God, all that time in the past I was tired, I didn’t even know it, because they didn’t have anything to compare it to.

So, you know, that could be the case for you. It was the case for me for many years, in fact. So now, even though I’m not perfect, I do get acidic and I have periods where I don’t do well with my health, but the good thing is, because I have experienced a very high level of energy and health, I know that I’m not healthy and I’ll realize oh, no, my energy is really low now. I need to make some changes and get back to that high level of health.

But if you’ve never had a high level of health any time in your life, you may not even realize that you’re not so healthy. So you’re just going to have to trust me, if that’s the case, and try some of these things and then when you experience the benefits, I promise you, you’ll want to continue because it feels absolutely fantastic and great.

The only reason I’m talking about this alkalizing, is that there are also certain ways of moving and exercising that create a more alkaline chemistry in your body and there are ways of exercising that create acid and it will make your body acidic and therefore kind of tired for a while.

Now those kinds of exercises are not bad, it’s just you can’t do them too much. You know, for example, lifting heavy weights. Most people who lift weights know that you’re supposed to rest in between, right? If you do heavy weights with your arms one day, you don’t do it again the next day and then the next and then the next day. You have to take breaks and one of the reasons that you have to do that is because when you lift those heavy weights you create a lot of acid in your muscles.

That lactic acid, it makes your muscles hurt and feel sore the next day or maybe the next two days and you have to rest until your body can clear out that acid; get it out of your body and get back to a more energetic alkaline state; alkaline chemistry. Now there are other things that happen too that make you need to rest, but that’s one of the key things.

It’s also true if you run really hard. You go out and you run and you run really hard and you’re breathing ha, ha, ha, ha, when you run and it feels quite difficult. Well, that’s an acidic kind of exercise. You’re going to create acid in your body when you do that and, again, that acid in your body is going to make you feel quite tired when you stop. Maybe immediately or definitely the next day, you’re going to probably have actually lower energy. You’re going to feel like oh, my God, I feel really tired today and possibly for a few days, until your body can get that acid out of your system, out of your body, then you’ll start to feel better.

Again, you know, some athletes need to train that way in order to get faster and in order to perform their sport better, but we’re not talking about athletic performance in this lesson. That is a whole different thing and it’s a higher level. You must start with a very strong, basic level of high energy and great health.

Don’t try to do athletic stuff and difficult stuff until you have that incredibly wonderful feeling of super high energy all day long, every single day, consistently. That is the basis of health. So, how do you do it? We’ve talked about the eating in the past, let’s talk about exercise.

First of all, I don’t like the word exercise because when you say the word exercise a lot of people have these negative ideas in their head about what it means. So I like to just say the word activity. Activity, that’s all it is. It’s just moving your body, which is the most natural thing in the world. What is unnatural and artificial is sitting on your butt for hours and hours and hours. Sitting a lot during the day is super unnatural.

Think about 50,000 years ago as the human species evolved. We did not evolve sitting on our butts. Humans, at that time, were constantly moving. They have to be out hunting. They had to be gathering food. Later they had to be farming, but they were constantly outdoors doing some kind of physical activity. They weren’t doing aerobics and lifting weights, but they were constantly doing physical activity and they did it outdoors.

That’s how our bodies evolved, so that’s what our bodies need, really, to be healthy, that kind of activity. That’s what is really, truly natural. And now, in our modern life, we have all this time where we’re sedentary and sedentary means low level of activity or not very active or inactive.

So it means sitting around a lot in an office at a computer for hours and hours and hours every day or just standing behind a counter at your job hours and hours every day, just standing, not really moving or sitting on your butt watching TV or surfing the Internet.

That’s my weakness; I search the Internet too much.

That is very unnatural and it’s unhealthy, because when we don’t move enough then our bodies become weaker and weaker and we lose our energy level. It’s terrible. So how can you reverse that? Well, to get great energy and some of you Power English owners will know this already from our Slow Burn Lesson, in that set of lessons, that actually slow and easy exercise done for a long time, extended time, is the best way to create health and high levels of consistent energy.

What does that mean? Well, I’ll just give you my favorite, most natural example of this – nice easy walking. Nice easy walking for a long time is the super exercise. It’s the best one. It’s my favorite one, personally.

Now you can do other things too. There’s other stuff you can do, but the point is and the measurement is that you never breathe heavily while you’re doing it. So any time if you start ha, ha, ha, if you’re getting a little out of breath and if talking becomes difficult because you’re breathing too heavy that means you’re doing the exercise, the activity, too vigorously, too fast, too hard and you need to lighten up and slow down.

Now there are a couple pieces of this that make it important. So number one is the level of exertion. The level of effort needs to be very, very, very moderate. Meaning, you never start breathing heavily, ha, ha. So, you know, when I walk and stroll around the city, I’m never breathing heavily. I could easily have a conversation with somebody and continue walking. That’s the level of effort you want to have for this pure energy style of exercise or activity.

Now, again, I know some of you might be really into sports and activity and you’re like no, A.J., you gotta’ breath heavy. You gotta’ work extra hard or else you won’t grow and da- da- da. That’s true if you want to build a kind of more athletic kind of fitness, but that’s the second step. That comes later. The basic foundation is a super high level of consistent energy and that is created by very moderate levels of exercise.

And, again, I don’t like to use the word exercise. To me, walking doesn’t even seem like exercise. I mean it’s what we’re born to do, you know? It’s the most natural thing in the world to go out and walk around. To call that exercise, I think it’s crazy. You know, for me, exercising is lifting weights or doing something at the gym. It’s a little bit artificial, but it has its benefits, but walking is just the most normal thing in the world.

So step one or point one is that it must be moderate, very moderate. Now that should be good news for a lot of you. A lot of you, you hear exercise and you think of sweating heavily and ha, ha, and breathing hard and pain and all these negative things for some of you.

So this should be good news to you because none of that is true. You don’t want any of that. When you moderately exercise, when you do moderate activity there should be no pain, no heavy breathing and maybe a little sweat, but not much, depends on the temperature outside; depends if it’s summer or not.

So now the next part of this is you have to do it for a long time. So if you’re gonna’ exercise moderately or do moderate activity, you need to do it longer. This is a problem for some people in the modern world and this is why some people when they do exercise, they try to do it so hard. They go to the gym and they get on a treadmill and they just run really hard for 30 minutes, because they think I’ve only got 30 minutes so I’m going to exercise super hard and sweat like crazy and rah and I’ll get as much benefit as possible in a short time.

It’s a nice idea and you will get some benefits from that. Certainly, there are benefits to that and, certainly, it’s better than sitting on your butt all day. However, for this basic foundation of pure energy and high, wonderful health, you actually need to go moderately and you need to do it, really, for much longer periods of time.

What do I mean by longer? I’d say at least an hour; preferably, a couple hours and if you can do more, do more. I do more, personally, but at least an hour and, really, I’d say two would be great. So that’s the trade off. That’s the other side that maybe is a little more difficult for this kind of exercising is that you must do it for a longer period of time.

So you’re going to slow down, it’s going to be more pleasant, more easy, very, very moderate and even relaxed, in a way, but you gotta’ do it for a much longer period of time. Now why would you want to do that? Well, the reason is there are lots of benefits to that. As I talked about in the Power English Lesson, Slow Burn, and I talked about it in more detail, the first thing this does is it burns fat.

See, when you exercise really hard for a short period of time, your body is burning mostly sugar. You’re burning mostly sugar and you’re not really burning fat when you’re exercising intensely, powerfully for a short time. It doesn’t mean its bad or good, it’s just that your body is burning sugar when you exercise in that way and when you burn sugar it creates acid in your body.

And, so, you burn a lot of sugar and you create acid, which makes you feel tired later.

And then the other thing is that when you burn a lot of sugar you start to crave sugar. To crave means to want something very strongly. Which means if your body is burning sugar for energy most of the time, you’re gonna’ want to eat a lot of sugar and, of course, that’s not healthy. There are a lot of bad things that come from eating a lot of sugar and I know, because I tend to crave sugar quite a bit.

This is a big problem for me. It’s probably the worst thing I have with my eating is that I like to eat sweat things and I’m always kind of fighting that. So I’m not blaming anybody.

I have these same problems, but I just want you to know that that’s what happens. But when you exercise, when you get out and I’m just gonna’ talk about walking. I’m going to stop using the word exercising, I’m just gonna’ say walking.

You could also swim in a very moderate way or you could ride a bike very moderately.

Those are also good activities, but I’m just gonna’ use walking as the best example, because I just feel it’s the most natural. You don’t need a pool. You don’t need a bike.

You just need shoes. I guess you don’t even need shoes if you have tough feet. Okay.

So, anyway, if you just walk moderately for a couple hours what happens is your body, instead of burning sugar, your body will burn fat. It will get its energy from fat and that has some really great benefits.

Benefit number one from burning fat is you’re burning that extra fat on your body, which most people have, right? So that’s a great way to lose weight. I don’t think losing weight should be your number one goal, but it’s a great way to do that.

The other thing about burning fat is that fat is a more consistent source of energy. When your body burns fat that’s what gives you that energy all day long, where it doesn’t go up and down. Sugar energy gives you a lot of energy suddenly, but then you burn it up and then you crash and then suddenly you’re like ah, and you feel really tired.

So sugar energy is up and down, up and down, high and then crash. Then eat some more sugar, high and then crash, high and then crash. And that’s what most of us are doing with these modern ways of eating now, but when you burn fat most of the time it’s a high level of steady energy. You just go and go and go, you can keep going for hours and hours and hours. It never drops and, so, you want to train, you want to teach your body to burn fat and the best way to do that is through this very long, moderate kind of walking or biking or swimming.

So just by getting out and walking moderately, but you gotta’ do it for a long time, remember. So I would say, ideally, two hours then you will train your body to burn fat.

And even after you stop walking, your body will be burning fat for energy and you will start to notice that all day long you have more and more energy and the longer you do this, the more months that you do this, the more and more energy you will have and the more steady your energy will be.

So, I suppose, the next thing we’re going to have to talk about is how do you find the time, because I know some of you are saying two hours a day, are you crazy? I can’t do that. Okay. Well, if you can’t do that do one hour a day, but here’s the great thing, because you’re exercising moderately, you’re not ha, ha, ha, breathing and in pain, you can do other things at the same time.

You could use your walking time every day as a social time to join with friends. So you all go out and you walk together and you have nice chats and it’s really fun and it’s a great couple hours a day where you really get to connect with your good friends or family. If you have a family you could all go out and do it together.

Or, you could use it as your personal learning time where you take your iPod with you and you listen to your Effortless English Lessons and you listen to Tony Robbins’ speeches and you listen to other positive motivational things and it would be, you know, one to two hours a day just for you to help sort of give yourself energy and motivation and inspiration while, at the same time, you’re just walking moderately and giving yourself higher and higher levels of physical energy.

Let’s say you’re a busy businessperson. You’ve got your own business and you’re always on the phone with phone appointments. Well, guess what? If you plan it well, you could do a lot of your phone appointments with a cell phone while you’re on your one or two hour walk. I have done this myself, occasionally, when I have to talk to some, let’s say, designer.

I’ve got an appointment with them and I’ve got to talk to them, but I don’t want to sit in my apartment waiting around all the time or sit in an office. So I’ll just take my cell phone and I’ll talk to them and have my phone meeting while I’m walking around the city. Why not? I mean if I don’t need to have a bunch of papers in front of me, I can just talk to somebody and be walking at the same time. I can be doing business as I do my moderate walking one to two hours or more every day.

You could get up early in the morning, if you’re a morning person, and do this early in the morning before you start your day; it’s the first thing you do. If you’re lucky enough to have long lunches, you could do it as a long lunch or you could do it immediately when you got home.

The great thing about this kind of exercise, this kind of activity, is it actually gives you more energy. So let’s say you get home from work and you feel tired. Well, if you went to the gym it would be, ah, really hard to workout, really hard to exercise because, ah, you’re tired and probably working out is gonna’ make me feel more tired, but if you just go out for a nice moderate walk for a couple hours, at the end of those two hours, you will actually feel more energetic, not less.

That’s because this kind of exercising increases your energy, because when you burn fat your body does not become acidic. You don’t create acid and therefore you’re actually increasing your level of energy. You’re moving and walking and expending energy, but it actually multiplies it because you engage the fat, you start burning that fat, which just brings your whole overall energy level up higher and higher. You actually feel more energized and better after than you did before. That’s the sign of a great, pure energy walk or swim or bike.

So, I hope I’ve convinced you to do that. Now if you want to learn more about this you could, you know, get Power English and listen to that Slow Burn Lesson set, which goes into a little more detail about some of these things, but that’s the basic way to do it. It’s just a matter of doing it. Get out and do it. I promise you, it will make a big difference in your life.

Now as a final thing and this is going to be a bit of a longer commentary, just because I’m passionate about this subject, I’d like to talk about the motivational part of this because, again, I know that for some of you the problem is not physical. You probably believe me. You’re like yes, A.J. Oh, definitely. That sounds right, but I don’t want to do it. Oh, I don’t want to do it and it’s hard for you to get motivated to do it.

You could find the time if you wanted to, but you make excuses because it’s just not inspiring to you and that’s real. I’ve experience that myself sometimes in my life and I just want to talk about why I think that is and how you can help yourself get more motivated to get this pure energy and to get healthier. I think the main thing, which I mentioned in the video a little bit, is to have positive, inspiring goals.

One of the main problems we have around health and fitness in the world today, everywhere you go, is that people think in negative terms. They think of health and fitness in a negative way and, so, you get all this negative energy connected to the topics of health and fitness, because what do people talk about, usually? What do you always hear? Dieting, what does that mean? Okay, I’m going to eliminate the foods that I really enjoy. Oh, that sounds fun. And I’m going to lose the fat, burn off the fat from my body; get rid of all this stuff on my body I don’t want, right?

So it’s all about focusing on what you don’t want. I don’t want fat. I don’t want to be tired. I don’t want to eat sugary foods. And as we know from, you know, The Secret and other things, focusing on something negative often will make you get more of the negative thing, even though you don’t want it. It’s because you’re thinking about it all the time and your mind tends to go where you focus on.

And, so, this is the problem so many people have, I think, probably most people around the world, is they want to be healthy, but they’re just focused on all these negative things; losing weight. Or, the other things people focus on are sort of superficial things.

Superficial means on the surface. It means external surface things, not deep, internal things.

For example, I want to have the perfect body, you know, and I’ll take off my shirt and, you know, women will faint and oh, my God, A.J., you’re so sexy, right? It’s just all about how I look and everybody is gonna’ think I’m so cool and sexy. And you look on magazines, all these fitness magazines, they always have the pictures on the cover where the person has zero fat on their body and it’s like some super model and that’s what we’re all supposed to look like, supposedly.

So that is a very frustrating goal to have and it’s not inspiring, right? There’s nothing meaningful about it. Is that really going to improve your life that much? I don’t know, maybe, maybe not, but for me it doesn’t motivate me either. So what I think is we need very positive, inspiring goals related to health and fitness. Let me give you some examples from my own life.

So I’ve found that, for example, if I put on some extra weight, I gain some weight and I always get upset when I do it, I’ll gain 10 pounds, 15 pounds and then I’ll start thinking I need to lose this weight. I’ve gotta’ get rid of this. Oh, this is terrible, I’ve gained 15 pounds and this happened to me, just recently, in fact.

When I got back from Asia, I came back this year, back to San Francisco, and I had gained about 15 pounds and I’ve been really upset about it and, at first, I got stuck in this negative way of thinking. I’m thinking, I’ve got to lose the weight, lose the weight, lose the fat and then I tried to force myself, you know, through mental willpower to exercise more and eat better, but then I would go and eat some sugar or ice cream or something or I’d get lazy and I’d skip a workout and then I’d get even more upset with myself and it was not an inspiring thing.

It was really making me unhappy and it was this kind of negative spiral, downward spiral. It’s not healthy, right? I mean part of health is having a good, happy mind, but then I started thinking. Just a few weeks ago I started thinking. I was like well, why am I doing this? And I thought I was healthier before I went to Asia.

I was super healthy at the end of last year before my Asia trip. I mean I was probably the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life and it felt easy, so I thought what was the difference? Why was I so healthy then and enjoyed it so much and why am having so much trouble now and then why do I want to get better health? I mean why was it better to be healthy?

We all assume it’s better to be healthy, but, you know, a lot of us don’t think deeply well, why? Why is it better? And, so, then I started thinking. I thought well, the reason I had got so healthy, one of the main things that I was excited about before the Asia trip was doing live events, doing seminars, and I realized that I love to have super high energy when I do those seminars.

When I teach live, if you come to see me sometime at a seminar, you’ll see that I’m not a normal teacher, maybe you know that already, but I jump, I shout, I run around the room, I’m going crazy. I have tons and tons of energy because I want the students to have lots of energy, because I know they’ll learn more and enjoy it more if they’re energized and moving and active instead of just sitting there and, so, I go crazy.

So I realized that one of my motivations for having great health was to be a wonderful speaker, teacher and performer. That I wanted to have a super high level of energy for my seminars and that inspired me to eat better. It inspired me to be more active and exercise more, because I kept imagining well, what I really want, the great benefit for me, one of the great benefits, is that I will contribute so much to my students when I teach them in my seminars.

And, so, that really motivated me a lot. I wasn’t thinking about losing weight or anything like that. I was thinking about having ultra, super high energy so that I could just be fantastic on stage when I was teaching at the seminars. Well then what happened?

Then what happened is I did do that. I had a great time in Asia and then I came back to San Francisco. All the seminars were over. No more live events; that purpose, gone for a while.

And, so, I came back to San Francisco and I’m just at home in my office and apartment and I’m not teaching like that and I kind of got depressed. I missed the contact with you, with members and meeting people face to face. I love it. And, so, then I realized hum, then I got caught up in trying to just lose fat and all that negative stuff again, until recently when I realized wait a second, the reason I want energy is so that I can do amazing, great things.

I’m an adventurous person. I’m an active person. I love to teach these live events. What else have I always dreamed of? What else do I love to do? I started writing it down and I realized that one thing I love to do is I love to go hiking and camping. I like to go on long hiking trips, like I have a backpack and, you know, walking through the mountains. I used to do that a lot and I haven’t done it in years.

Then I thought of all these adventure trips that I always dreamed about doing, but they require kind of a lot of physical strength and activity. I would like to hike to the base camp at the bottom of Mt. Everest, for example, or maybe go on a long bicycle trip across the United States or through Argentina or something. I have this big, long list of all these cool adventures I want to do and then I started getting excited.

Then I remembered one, this walking tour of Shikoku, Japan. Shikoku, Japan is a huge island in Japan and there’s a thousand-year-old trail and it visits all these Buddhist temples. There are 88 of them and its 650 miles, which is about 1,200 kilometers. It’s very famous and when I lived in Japan, in the past, I always thought I want to do that some day. It’s walking every day with a backpack up and down mountains for about 40 days, 45 days, maybe, depends on how fast you go.

I suddenly remember that and I was like yeah, I don’t want to just sit in my apartment all the time, I want to do all these incredible adventures I always dreamed of. Why am I not doing that? And I realized hum, well, it’s because I’m a little bit lazy and tired right now.

So then I just decided I’m going to do it. At the end of this summer, I’m going to do the Shikoku, Japan trip, the 1,200 kilometer trip; 45 days hiking in the mountains of Japan.

And as soon as I decided that, as soon as I made that decision, suddenly I became super motivated to exercise and eat better and since then it’s been pretty easy. I haven’t had to fight and struggle all the time, because I’m not just exercising to “get in shape.” I’m not just doing it to lose a couple inches or to, you know, look better in a bathing suit or something. No, I have something more inspiring, something more meaningful to me, something interesting and fun and cool and adventurous for me.

And, so, now every day I think yes, definitely, I want to go walk today. I’m going to go walk three hours today because I want to be ready for this big Shikoku trip. On the Shikoku trip I will need to walk about 30 kilometers per day, every single day for 40 to 45 days. I can’t do that right now, so I have to get ready for it. So now every day I get up and I’m like yes, I’m gonna’ go for a long walk.

Yesterday I walked for three and a half hours in San Francisco and I did exactly what I’m describing to you. I had a little backpack with some water in it and some little snacks and an extra jacket. I just walked around the City of San Francisco and I love doing that.

I love it. I get to look at the buildings. I see people. I went to the baseball stadium, there was a game. You know, I just go around and see all these cool little neighborhoods in San Francisco and look at people. It’s really fun.

It’s not like hard work. It feels great. I enjoy it. Sometimes I’ll listen to my iPod and listen to Tony Robbins and that also is a nice positive benefit, it’s another thing I can do and all the time, too, I’m dreaming of Shikoku a little bit, dreaming of visiting all these temples, dreaming of climbing these mountains and meeting new people and it’s so totally different than having the goal of losing 15 pounds.

This goal, the Shikoku trip, inspires me. And, so, all I’m saying, as a final thing before we leave here, is that I encourage you to find more inspiring, more motivating goals and reasons for exercising, for getting pure energy. How can you do that? It’s very simple; all you need to do it this.

Get a piece of paper and then just imagine, say this to yourself, if I had unlimited energy, if I had super energy all the time, every single day, what would I do that I’m not doing now or that I’ve never done? If I never felt tired, if I could just do anything physically, what would I love to do? What have I dreamed of doing in the past? What do I dream of doing now?

Now for some people it might be something like with your job. Like, for me, doing the live seminars, the live classes, I loved it. That’s super motivating and it still is for me. So that’s one thing for me, but then also, for me, these adventure trips. I don’t know what it is for you, but make a list and choose a few of them and then pick one that you are going to do and pick a date when you’re gonna’ do it.

Maybe it’s running a marathon; maybe for you that’s inspiring. So if that is for you, just as an example, you say I’m going to run a marathon, step one. Number two, you’re going to pick an exact one. I’m going to run the Berlin Marathon in April of next year.

You put it on your calendar and then you send in your money and you register for it. Or, maybe, if you’re in America, you want to hike the Appalachian Trail, so you’re gonna’ say I’m gonna’ hike the Appalachian Trail next year.

It doesn’t matter what it is. It can be big, it can be small. The point is that you find more inspiring reasons to get healthy. You focus on what you will do with all of that new energy that you have. How are you gonna’ help people with all that new energy you’ll have? How are you gonna’ have more fun with all that new energy? What are you going to experience and learn that’s new and different and exciting for you because you have all of that extra energy?

So that’s what I want to leave you with. That’s the final thought. What I want you to focus on is focus on the benefits of having all of that tremendous energy all the time, every day and write down some inspiring, motivating, meaningful things that you want to do with all of that energy. That’s going to help you get a little more motivated to actually get out there and walk every day.

Okay. Good luck to you. Get on the forums, get on the VIP social site and share your stories about pure energy. I’ll see you again, bye-bye.
