Dangerous Tea Party — Positive, Intuitive, Creative Musings from Brilliant Minds

Though there's a bit of a pejorative nature to the term, I am, at heart, an information junkie. One of my biggest assets, however, is my ability to extrapolate and integrate information from the myriad sources that serve as my teachers, and in turn, teach others. As it is in the collective, rather than in isolation, that we grow, I invite others to communicate their ideas and experiences here, as well, so we can each grow and improve our thoughts – and beings.

Visualizing fitneess — and life — success

Laura with Scott White - April '04


This is a picture of me with my
trainer, Scott White, taken in
April of 2004 at the
Integrated Health and Fitness Expo
in Phoenix, AZ.


I've been working out 3 times a week with Scott White for about a year. We were introduced by a mutual friend, Connie Kadansky.

Scott's been working as a trainer ever since high school, but he's had his own business, Personal Power Training, for the last 3.5 years.

Scott has a degree from Arizona State University in kineseology (the study of the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body movement, especially in humans). His sister kids him that he has a degree in gym. He has studied with experts like Paul Chek, and has trained professional athletes and Olympians.

The best thing about working with Scott, besides his incredible expertise, is that he keeps me motivated. If he weren't as enthusiastic and upbeat as he is, I think I might have given up my training regimen a long time ago. My natural preference is to stay up very late and get up at a proportionally late hour. However, I've been scheduling my appointments with Scott for 6 or 7 a.m. for about the last six months. My sister is still shocked that I found someone who gets me to exercise regularly and get up by 6.

One thing both Scott and Connie have encouraged me to do is to visualize my success, not only in working out, but in every aspect of my life. Today, Scott asked me if I've ever visualized how I look once I reach my goal. The funny thing is that although I recite my intentions every day, I don't think I've ever actually pictured myself looking the way I ultimately want to look.

So, now I have a new goal — to begin to visualize the end result. And that kicks up the motivation factor by about 1,000 percent!

Thanks, Scott, for your continued inspiration, knowledge, and motivation!

And thanks, Connie, for putting me together with Scott.
