Mind over Matter ...fact or fiction??

Today, while checking out my favorite health and fitness websites, I came across a quote that Mark Twight ( trained the cast of the movie 300) and is also a accomplished mountain climber. 

" The training we do is the consequence of attitude.  The attitude is the meaningful fundamental; without it, no benefits may be realized.  You must want (or need) to be where you are, doing what your doing.  If you can't pay attention or if you don't want to work hard, don't bother showing up to go through the motions.  Nothing is gained by doing one thing with your body and another with your mind."  Mark Twight

How many times have you forced yourself to do something your mind is not really into?  What did you gain from doing it? What was the outcome?  The above quote rang so true to me.  How many years have I spent going through the motions while my mind wandered endlessly? How many hours, days, months of my life did I waste when my mind and body couldn't or didn't want to work together? 

Is mind over matter fact or fiction?  For me, it is fact.  I have learned that my mind is a very powerful thing.  Each thought you think, each word you say, impacts your all aspects of your life.   We all have bad days, days where you don't want to work, go out, clean, work out etc...but in the mist of those days, you must pick yourself up, dust yourself off , and remember that your the only one who could put good thoughts in your mind, your the only one who can choose how you feel.  If you change your mind your body and life will follow. 

Try it, take a look at yourself, say something good about yourself , feel happy and grateful that God made you different from everyone else, because I know that no matter what, I wouldn't want to be anyone but me, besides, everyone else is already taken.

On a different note, Gossip Girl returned on Monday night - I was so disturbed by what happened, and how the whole episode made my head spin...geeze, I thought the -30 weather we had here froze the brains of the writers of that episode, better pick up your socks writers...otherwise I am coming after you with a headband!

HAGO!
