If you are anything like me, when you first think of
the phrase Health & Wellness you think of exercising and eating right. It sure is a challenge to exercise regularly
and eat properly, but I do not believe either of those two areas are the
greatest challenge. The greatest
challenge is above your shoulders. IT IS
YOUR MIND!! Your mind controls your actions throughout the day. If you are
not in the right mindset then your day will most likely not go as well as it
could of.
Most
of the battles in life are not physical in nature but mental. We often talk ourselves out of opportunities and
challenges before even physically attempting to move forward. Change of any sort is uncomfortable. This
feeling of not being comfortable starts in your mind. There is a book I try to read at least once a
year that really puts life in perspective. The book is called “The Purpose
Driven Life” and is written by Rick Warren. In one section of the book it talks
about your thoughts and how it affects the way you feel which then leads to how
you act. I highly recommend this book if
you have not read it. This is a faith
based book, but even if you are not one of faith, this book has a lot of good information
that would be helpful in reaching your full potential.
Why
am I spending so much time talking about your mind? If you want the most of
your body and be able to reach your full potential your mind has to be trained.
As we all know the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
and expecting different results. Soooo…..to
get different results you have to ……...uh oh ………...here it comes…………….….CHANGE.
We have now started the process of breaking the
chains that bind our mind! Stay tuned to my next post and we will continue
where we left off talking about the mind.

have mentioned above, I have included the link below:
