“ Change your mindset .... the body will follow !! “
“ Change your mindset .... the body will follow !! “ I never knew how true and important this quote was till now . We spend a majority of our waking day filling our minds subconsciously with excuses , then ... our bodies follow !! We do it right as soon as the alarm clock goes off in the morning ! Set snooze !! That already sets the mind in a delayed state !! We set our minds back without even realizing it because well , the “ snooze ” button is there so we might as well take advantage of an extra 5 or 10 !! So we snooze our mind and simultaneously we snooze our bodies !! Now what do you think would happen if you got right up as soon as the alarm went off the first time ? Yeah I agree the thought of not being able to push that snooze almost ruins your day right ?? But let ’ s say for a moment that you actually did just that , woke up right as the alarm went off ... no snooze , no extra minutes , just got right up and began your day !!? You guessed it , your body would follow !! I was like queen of excuses before I embarked on this journey !! “ I ’ m too tired , too sore , no energy ” etc , etc , etc ... well what did I expect to happen for the day ? I already made all the excuses with m y mind , so of
course I had a tiring , depressing , no energy kind of day !” It ’ s like clockwork and never fails !! Your mind is so powerful that once you set the thoughts , your body has no choice but to feel it , and follow !! I realized that once I pushed myself through the excuses , smiling more , telling myself “ I ’ m going to do this ”, got up , showed up , and well , forced my body against the excuses ... it eventually became easier and easier !! Our bodies are our vessels , and our minds are how we sail it ! It really is up to us to stop with the excuses and take action , steer our vessels ! It is then , and only then that we begin to really start to live life , not just existing amongst all the excuses we set ourselves up for the day , but truly living !! In upcoming issues I will go into deeper details about the importance of changing our mindsets if we truly want to reach any goal , or live any type of happiness ! I know this article may reach many , and may only be perceived as importance by just a few !! Those people are the ones that are ready to make serious changes in their life ! I hope in some form I can
help !! Now ... change is NEVER easy , keeping a positive mindset can prove to be challenging and maybe even seem impossible ! But ... it CAN be done !! Never fear change , be comfortable with being uncomfortable ! I promise you this opens a new door to life !! Are you ready to accept the challenge of change ?? Are you ready to change your mindset and your body ?? If you are , stay tuned , as I will help you better understand the difference between “ fixed ” mindset and “ growth ” mindset !! Be blessed , love yourself enough to make changes for your happiness , your health and well being !! You will be happy you did !! Light and love ... -Beverly
