The 4-Minute Peaceful Warrior Workout | By Dan Millman The following is an excerpt from the "The 4-Minute Peaceful Warrior Workout" on-line course. If you would like to enroll in the course, click here. Unlike the broad range of topics covered in my 12-week Course -- Master the Path of the Peaceful Warrior -- The Peaceful Warrior Workout has a clear purpose and focus -- to teach you a series of movements that can provide the leverage to improve many other facets of your life. Taking only four minutes each day provides a significant step towards healthy, positive habits to help reshape your body, your attitudes, and your spirit. Like many people, you may have mixed feelings about your body. And like many others, you sometimes indulge it, deprive it, stuff or starve it. The time has come to accept (love and admire) your amazing human body -- the only possession you are guaranteed to keep for a lifetime. When you treat your body well, other facets of life fall into place. Three ways to treat your body well -- keys to optimal physical well-being are: 1. Regular, moderate exercise (active rather than sedentary lifestyle) 2. A balanced diet (suitable to your own genetics and circumstances) 3. Sufficient rest (to start each day afresh) Paavo Airola, Ph.D. who dedicated his life to healthful eating, once stated that "... it would be better to eat a "Standard American Diet" (S.A.D.) and do regular exercise than to eat an organic vegetarian diet but not exercise." (This advice, coming from a vegetarian and expert in nutrition!) In this course, we'll focus on the first of the three keys -- regular, moderate exercise -- because starting your day with a conscious movement routine encourages you to eat a more balanced diet that contributes to weight loss and better sleep as well. Expect psychological as well as physical rewards. As author Geoffrey Norman observed, "A lot of what passes for depression these days is nothing more than a body saying that it needs work." Because the human body is built to move, to stretch, and to breathe deeply. Conscious Exercise and Your Bio-Energy Field A strong energy field contributes to physical vitality. Thus, the flowing movements and deep breathing of this workout enhance your functioning on physical, mental, and emotional levels. Your energy field becomes larger, brighter, and cleaner, like the atmosphere after a good rain. You'll feel more expansive, alert, and relaxed. While the 4-minute routine is not the same as an hour at the gym, yoga studio, or running trail, it does include all elements of fitness in an efficient package to enliven the body. It requires no heroics or particular will-power. You don't need to be as fit as an athlete in training (unless you are one) -- but you will experience improved level of strength, stamina, suppleness, balance, and coordination.

Whereas "wanting" can be done sitting on the couch with ice cream and a travel magazine, deciding to create a badass life means jumping in all the way and doing whatever it takes with the tenacity of a dateless cheerleader a week before prom night. You know, no big deal, it's just your one and only life. Whatever big hairy "roadblock" you're dealing with today will be a mere blip in your rearview mirror if you do what it takes to grow (shift your perception, take risks, decide it ain't the boss of you, etc.) In this 21-day course, you will ditch your fear, limiting beliefs and begin mastering the mindset you need to create the Badass life that you love. Regardless of your past history with habits, you can create new ones -- and stick to them! Over the duration of 21 days (the amount of time it takes to anchor in a new habit), you will get the resources, mindset tools and accountability you need to create new habits that stick.
