Think your way to the Body and Life You Desire

As the wise Buddha once said, “The mind is everything. What we think we become.”

What a moving statement, and one that contains so much truth! We really do hold so much power in our mind, as it creates our thoughts, shaping our experiences and reality in this world.

In a time when so many people and the media are focusing on what is going wrong (especially with the economy), it can be challenging to stay positive. And while we cannot control so much in this world, we can control the thoughts that we choose to feed our minds with. So, now is the perfect opportunity for us to examine what’s been going on in our own heads, and to see if those thoughts and beliefs have been serving us or inhibiting.

Have you put up walls or barriers to achieving certain goals? Have you told yourself you can’t do something; that it’s just not the right time? Or, perhaps have you been focusing on what’s missing in your life instead of exuding gratitude for what you already have?

We have all been our own worst enemy at some point in our lives, polluting our minds with thoughts and beliefs of can’t, not enough, and no. And, it’s no wonder that when we have thought these things our reality only mirrored back those exact thoughts through our experiences and reality.So, I encourage you this week to take a step back and see where maybe some of your beliefs and thoughts are no longer helping you move towards the life you want to live.

If you want to become more fit or change your body shape for instance, try focusing your thoughts on what you can do today to help you move towards those goals instead of dwelling on what you can’t do or what you don't look like. Visualize yourself having the body and fit life you want, and believe that is possible. By empowering yourself with healthy thoughts and beliefs about what you can do, you will slowly but surely build the body and life you desire one step at a time.

Wishing you health, happiness, and success!
