Hello friends! As we enjoy this beautiful spring weather, let's take a while to discuss about #mindoverbody - our focus on the Weekend Bite™ this
month.
The mind and the body are two important parts of our beings that determine our decisions and actions. Many times we may find ourselves making decisions, based on our emotions or perhaps some physical gratification. However, the truth of the matter is that when the body is the main deciding factor for our decisions, most of such decisions may end up being regretted.
For
example, the decision to cheat on your spouse to feed a physical desire
or to get drunk to drown your problems will always backfire. You will either end up
betraying the one you love and potentially damaging your relationship
or with a hangover and a series of bad decisions.
If
your mind tells you to do something NOW but your body feels to lazy to
do so all the time, it's definitely a set up for failure. No one ever got
anything done by being lazy or procrastinating, but by pushing themselves
harder even when they don't feel like it.
We
have to learn not to be controlled by our feelings. We may feel
insecure, tired, or beat down, but we must be prepared to push ourselves
with all we have, even when we feel we are unable. If we are able to convince our minds that we are able to do or achieve
something, then sooner than later, our bodies will start to believe it.
If your mind says you are unable, then it's time to change your mind. And when you change your mind, your body will change too. Change
your mind by speaking positive words about yourself, declaring you can
do and become exactly what and who you aspire to be.
Keep your mind positive and you'll be on the right track to success! Let your motto be #mindoverbody always.
