The thing to remember also, is that getting fit takes discipline, self-control, and mental strength. Meditation or lucid dreaming are tools I have used to achieve these abilities. Being able to control dreams, dictating where you go and choosing to fly, is powerful. With control like that in dreams, one can almost do anything in waking life. I've also come to learn that getting in shape takes a good and positive attitude.

One must remember to take things one step at a time. Set small and attainable goals at first, then work your way up to a more intense routine. If you do too much the first time, you'll burn out and never want to go back. It all goes back to balance.

Try simple things like, doing crunches during commercials while watching TV. Do squats and calf raises while cooking. Geez, be creative already! Most of all, to really get in shape, have fun while doing something you really like to do. I found that dancing was my motivator to get in shape. I love to do it, plus, I can make it into a type of circuit training workout, where I alternate dancing with strength moves. It is the best workout I've ever done. I haven't really noticed anything much, but all of my friends say I look really good. Oh, another secret trick I learned is about creating an ideal self.

What does your ideal self look like? talk like? dress like? act like? How does your ideal self handle stress? It's as though you invent an idea of what you want to be. You want to be beautiful? What does that mean to you? Do you want to be in shape? What do you do? Do you buy a mountain bike and start riding a bike everywhere because it's fun and something you've always wanted to try? Or, do you keep sitting on your inflating rear end and doing nothing? Getting in shape is all up to you. Anybody has the power of changing themselves, it is making that choice to do so that seems to be the hard part. Don't blame commercials, fast food, or even genetics. Take responsibility for what you contributed to the situation, whether it is the fact that you eat too much or you don't exercise at all and do something about it.
