7 Ways To Intensify Your Life

n writing today’s tips I started to do “7 Ways to Intensify your Workout,” and that’s definitely one we’ll do, maybe tomorrow, but what I really thought is that most of want a better life. That’s the big reason we all train, because it satisfies something in us and it makes us better. But I think we should put as much energy into making the rest of our life great as we do into our physical training. Here are seven tips on how to get more excitement out of your life:


1. Get off your butt! Physical energy and physical and mental momentum follow the same laws as physics, “A body in motion tends to stay in motion.” Even if you don’t have the perfect plan or the perfect thing to do, do something. Relaxation and down time are also important and I’m not discounting that, but they’re made even sweeter when you’ve done something that made a difference in your life or someone else’s.

2. Get in shape!! The better your strength and conditioning the better physical vitality you have, the more things you can do and the more fun you can have with your life. I hope you all take time out to read your computers and read our messages and website everyday, but you gotta spend more time actually getting fit than you do arguing about it with 14-year olds on message boards.

3. Find your passion. Find the things that you would do, because you love them regardless of the money involvement. These are the things that truly keep long-term motivation in your life. When you become an adult it’s very easy to get “proper” about things. If you think about it, there’s very little time we would consider appropriate for extreme excitement and passion in an adult’s life. Those of us who tend to express those things can sometimes be thought of as a bit … weird…. Well, “weird,” is the nice word. So what!? What is life without excitement? Find the things that excite you and pursue them!

4. Get involved! With your family, your friends, your community, your church, helping others. This is one of the greatest stimulus of joy that a human being can get. Nobody says you have to be the neighborhood volunteer for every project, but at least do something that broadens your thoughts out of your own little world every now and then.

5. Count your blessings. Everybody goes through hard times and great times. That’s life. But most of us, most of the time are living in relative safety and blessing. Instead of taking that as the norm and becoming complacent, get excited about it! Don’t just acknowledge it, let it really overpower you.

6. Get spiritually satisfied. How can achieving peace in your life bring excitement? Well, I think we have enough chaotic, unsettled problems floating around in our immediate lives and world to create more than anyone ever needs of negative stress. When you have a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ it brings inner peace, simple as that. But that also allows you to not flip over the idiocy of daily life and waste your energy on negative thought. It gives you a base from which to be excited about your life and future.

7. Set some goals. Do something that requires you to achieve it. I don’t necessarily mean that you need to put yourself under pressure or a deadline, but many people do function well in that environment. I mean give yourself a background purpose. Something you’re constantly working toward. A consistent motivating stimulus to bring you to an exciting, accomplishing, fun life.


You know what the big end of this is? Find something fun. Something that you really enjoy, not because someone else tells you it’s good to do or it’s part of the “have-to” part of your life. Build that fun into the things that you do. You should be enjoying spiritual development, not seeing it as dry and somber. You should be enjoying building your brain, not seeing it as drudgery. You should enjoy your work, your family, your children. You should do the things in your own personal training that make you happy, that you consider fun. Because guess what? The more fun you have at it, the more you show up. The more you learn, the more energy you put in, the more you grow. Regardless of all the emotional techniques and the “Git ‘er done!” philosophy out there, enjoyment of what you’re doing is probably the biggest motivator in most parts of your life. Money, success, most other things just don’t hold up if you’re not enjoying yourself along the way. We all know every minute of life isn’t fun, but you’d better know yourself well enough to know the things that keep you happy long term. Those are the things you really want and that you’ll stick with to find success.
