Motivational Movies, Magazines, and Books

Do inspirational movies, books, and other media resources actually work? Of course they do. Motivation is not a one time thing. It's a healthy part of a daily life. Daily. Every single one. If you don't fill your tank with higher thoughts and images, you'll run dry.

It's not exactly a quick fix we're talking about here. I mean, yeah, you watch Rocky and get pumped up and want to start running up stairs and drinking eggs, but that only lasts for a short while, maybe for a few days or workouts. So, in a sense, it is a quick fix.

But, it's not just the simplistic fix we need to be after. Its an environment. By constantly exposing yourself to positive people, methods, images, and inspiring stories, it lifts your consciousness. Little by little, day by day, you're building a solid foundation of success.

Let's say your day consisted of the following:

•You woke up and visualized your ideal body in detail before getting out of bed.
•You watched a motivational mind movie before answering morning email.
•You read and affirmed all the little sticky note goals you've put around the house or office.
•You watched a few youtube clips of transformations and other motivators during a lunch break.
•You watched a movie featuring rock hard muscles for your movie night.
•You read from a motivational book that you're working through right before bed.
•As you turn off your light to go to sleep, you ingest the motivational quotes written on your nightstand.

Are you beginning to see how if you surround yourself with success, the chances of failure are quite slim? Let me repeat: it's an environment of success we're after. A positive field. Filling your mind with thoughts that are in synch with your goals and aspirations is one of the most important life tasks.

I'm compiling a list of motivational resources below. They can be of great use. Commit to incorporate one new resource into your life a day. Fitness success will be imminent.

All the Rocky Movies (duh)
GI Jane
Wolverine - No matter your gender, you've gotta dig those shoulders!
Fight Club - Holy moly. And holy moly again.
Under the Tuscan Sun - Anything can be done.
DOA - Cheesy, but awesome chicks. Jamie Pressly cracks me up.
Gladiator - Hard and true.
Without Limits - Rude guy, but big dreams.
The Secret - It's a shame it's so commercial and simplistic, but it definitely has its place.
300 - Haven't seen it, but it left my sons super pumped for a loooooong time.

Simple Truths has some great short movies that rock. They hit home and help you refocus on the truth that you really can do, be, and have what you're after. Here's some of their titles:
