7 secrets of success

Last few months I have started to spend a lot of time with physical exercises and I has taken a great interest in this self-improvement method. This experience of physical exercises overcoming give me some interesting ideas, associations and analogies, which can help with other directions of our life. This post is the first in "7 secrets of success" series of posts.

The first Secret

It is possible to take pleasure from overcoming difficulties. In our life we very often collide with problems which we must solve, frequently for this purpose we should do significant efforts. Probably, you will tell, that only masochists are capable to take pleasure from difficulties. I allow myself to disagree …
The main idea of first secret of success is "the way you look at all obstacles in your life". Do you wish to learn how to generate the positive attitude? How to perceive a problems with pleasure?
Advice is simple.
You should follow this simple formula : "Everything, that do not kill, do us strong ".

Doing physical exercises you know precisely, that they give you advantages, that you become stronger. You force down breath, you use all your will to do this last pulling up because it will make you more strongly. Overcoming physical activities is a way of body improving.
All becomes complicated a little, when we transfer this principle to the question of professional growth, in personal development. It is completely not obvious, that your efforts in any of these directions cause internal growth. However, it is absolutely established fact, because often you are not pay attention to proofs.
We are always see athletes, we know how they have reached success - through constant overcoming of physical activities. But, for some reason, we always explain someone's success in any area with "luck", "parent's communications" etc... Maybe it is easy to live so... I don't know, but I don't like it.

Btw, if you try to study biographies of successful people you will see the same: "Constant weaknesses overcoming, difficulties overcoming, problems overcoming - it is the reason of their success ". You must remember it, success of any person (material, spiritual, creative) you should always strongly associates with his improvement work, in the same way, as athletes body powers associates with overcoming physical exercises. You become stronger meeting problems and difficulties - be happy to this chance, moreover, you should search this meeting.

Morning physical exercises...

... are one of the most important things in self improvement. I actually consider, that 20-50 minutes of morning exercises can double your activity and forces during all day. It is possible to tell long about WHAT occurs in your organism when you doing exercises every morning. I can tell precisely, that all parts of your body after morning warm-up will receive a sufficient blood inflow, muscles and joints will get pleasant ease. There would be no bad sensations all the day long (of course if you haven't "age" diseases). Is it pleasantly? I consider that optimum time for morning warm-up is 40 minutes. The main thing is to be in movement all these 40 minutes and, that is very important, exercises should demand efforts from you efforts, they should be difficult for you. We are trying to improving, right?:)
I know about 10 ways to make effective warm-up. "Effective" in this case, of course, means that they are hard ( for beginner, people who practice morning exercises get pleasure from them ).
I wouldn't now describing these methods, because it needs a lot of time and place in post to describe all of them in a sufficient measure . We shall borrow in them later. I will find new exercises or optimize old for you every week.
Perhaps for a priming I shall list the most popular and effective, in my opinion, methods :
1) Morning jogs (on my opinion best, simple and accessible way to warm-up, must have in summer time)
2) Simple physical exercises (everyone i think studied this at school's lessons of physical culture)
3) Self-massage (I recently have opened it for myself but already now I understand how much it is necessary for any person)
4) Hatha yoga (unfamiliar art for me yet, but i shall try to master it)
5) There are many ways to warm-up in martial arts (i studied Muai Thai and prefer it, but you can choose one of them closer to you)
6) Very very good way is to swim for a while in the nearest reservoir ( i am lucky i have one :) )
7) All kinds of meditation systems. You really can do incredible things through it, but you must be pro (i can't, maybe later...)
So, I think it is enough for the beginning, later I shall try to consider each method deeply.
