I used to have a fitness client that I would go to her house at 6am 3 times a week to help her keep fit. During the nice weather, we would walk outside and while she was focusing on cardio, I would walk along side with her dog, Teddy. It never failed, every time we walk Teddy, he would have to poop. It was like he knew when I was coming and would wait for the walk.
I had another fitness client that we would walk outside for her cardio sometimes as well and we would take her dog, Juliette with us. Even though it was generally mid-morning she would have to poop on the walk.
Now I have my own dog, Chica, and every morning when I take her for a walk the same thing happens. So this morning when I was walking Chica I started thinking; what is it about a walk that they just have to poop? Then it hit me; the moving of the body gets the inner systems of the body working to move out the waste and make room for more food and nourishment. But how does this apply to success?

Well, when I go for a walk or exercise in the morning, the movement gets my mind system working to begin excreting out the toxic waste that has accumulated in my head. All the what-ifs, the previous days failures, the I can’t do its, the impossibilities and all the other head trash begins to bubble to the surface.
As I continue moving, the movement of the body facilitates the release of all the mind crap and opens my mind for the good stuff to come in. I begin to feed on creative thoughts, ideas begin flowing, I begin to remember all of the successes and blessings that I have in my life. This physical movement of my body is critical to nourish success processes of my mind.
That’s why I feel that exercise, in whatever form it takes in your life, is not only important for physical health, it is important for mental health and cultivating the success mindset.
What kind of morning movement will you do to release your toxic mental waste and open yourself up for the food of success to flow into your mind? I challenge you to begin tomorrow, at minimum three days a week, and track the changes that happen as you open yourself to this amazing process.
