Figure out what you want to develop in your life and then create disciplines and workout routines that exercise those capacities. That is training your body to cultivate your optimal psychology.
I recently reviewed research concerning the ways in which the right kinds of physical exercise can generate surprising psychological benefits. After just a couple of days, that article has been downloaded 60,000 times, illustrating the level of interest people have in finding new ways of developing their potentials. Counseling, coaching, and psychotherapy can be helpful in addressing performance challenges. Through the right physical disciplines, however, we can directly experience the person we wish to become. Are we interested in becoming more disciplined and self-controlled? More resilient in the face of adversity? More able to draw upon our storehouses of energy? More grounded in a sense of self-mastery? All of these can literally be exercised by the right disciplines.
It's a game-changer for psychology: Don't talk with someone to reach your goals; do the things you wish to become.
