Creating Triggers

Knowing that I'm leaving for Nashville tommorrow, today being the last day in Times Square before a three day absence, I used the 'strong finish' trigger to stay the course beyond physical exhaustion, using the 'feeling' of fatigue or emptiness as a trigger to totally be all over it with radiant happiness and unperturbability. I hit the gym in the a.m. crushing the eliptical and freeweights, also using the upcoming Nashville trip as a trigger, or deadline to be in incredible shape. Knowing that I will be in a 'life-size-pattern-interupt' while away, I am using the radically altered situation from my norm to cut back all extraneous calories while turning marathon runner as I will be able to concentrate entirely on maximizing the hills of Tennessee and the southern climate temperature hike. It will be a vacation of singing, running, and reading in a haven of country landscape and studio silence. This three days of bootcamp will bring me back to NYC, being another deadline to be in far better shape for my 'end of Spring' rock hard transition into summer. I'm using the following five days in NYC to get my miles up considerably so that when I arrive at my May 25th deadine to be in Cincinnati for the 'Taste of Cincinnati' and to see my family, all of which will be shot by Ron Israel Productions and available to the world on video, I'll be in the best shape of my life. These four days will be used as an intensified bootcamp/promotional blast in my hometown preparing me for the deadline of 'best shape of my life' to return and maintain eternally, primarily in the short term though for the NYC Summer blast. I shot photos with a National level bodybuilder in Times Square today, just happened to be there, that was a trigger to totally sprint my 8 miles tonight, no excuses. Basically, I have a constant ongoing conditioning strategy to ensure that I always have an upcomming reason to be more, do more, expand more. It's always the last day of my life and I expect it to be my best. What you are right now is what you are. What and how you do anything, is what and how you do everything. If you're climbing and improving now, you'll be doing so tomorrow. If you're gonna start tomorrow, tomorrow you'll be preparing to start the next day.
