I've been listening to the podcast from http://strengthnation.com/ (Just look for it on Itunes) for years now. He helps keep me pumped up on keeping my body going, talks about how to break out of slumps, how to make good choices and one of my fav things; the image. See you set an image in your mind of what you want to look like and how it is going to feel to look that way, what your going to be able to do. Then all your choices either support getting to that place or they don't. The clearer the image the easier it is to clean your diet, to get out of bed and hit the cold streets etc. I find it to be a great technique.
Funny thing is I've shifted from wanting a "weigh lifters" body to more wanting a trim and tight body, more wrestler style. So my choices change.
One of the other things he said that sticks with me is: Your either working twards your peek condition or your moving away. You are never at the top of your game for long. Which makes sense, you need down time if you just went to a one rep max, after a marathon you need to recoop some, you get hurt you get sick you get locked in a small room with 6 hookers and a pile of ho-ho's shit happens. But the fun thing is that every time you hit the top and move back down, if your doing it right the mark will move up each time you get there. I've been serious about my body for a few years now, not showing your kind of progress but each time I get a bit closer to where I want to be, hell I'm in size 33 pants and started at what probably should have been 40ies.
