Where will your thoughts take you today


Rich and I have been blessed to work out with an exercise physiologist since 2003. He is an amazing man and comes to our home for training sessions several times a week.  One of the first things he taught me was: "The body will not go where the mind has not been".

I'm mean... I'm 75 years young thanks to this man but I must admit that when he tells me to give him 10 stairs,(that means going up and down a full flight of stairs 10 times) then give him 20 push ups and do both things 3 times...  my mind is not telling me anything positive!!!! In fact it's freaking out with tons of negative crap...

After 12 years Ray can read me like a book and in no time I will hear Ray say, "Beth, be positive... remember Beth if you think you can you will be right and if you think you can't you will also be right, because the body will never go where your mind has not been". 

I had one heck of a workout this morning and I just kept telling myself... "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"... and I focused on how great I would feel when the session was over and I could run upstairs and tell Rich what an awesome workout I had. Yes, I felt the pain but that was not what I focused on, I focused on the joy I would feel when that set was finished!!!!

I think we all know that our bodies will not go where our minds have not been and yet so few of us focus on pleasant memories. In fact I think that most people seldom recall all the good things that happen to them and just focus on all the negative and bad things that happen.

I love to ask our agents when they come to chat with me  in one of their down negative minds sets, (you know what I'm talking about right) these five questions:

    1.Do these negative thoughts  serve you any purpose? 

    2.Do these negative thoughts help you move forward?

    3.Do these negative thoughts work in your favor in any way?

    4.Do these negative thoughts make you feel good?

    5. Can you find a positive thought to focus on right now?

 

Please know that our agents know I'm going to hit them with this five question beauty because I've been going so for years.

They always fall for it and in no time at all to I am able to show them that the negative stuff they insist on thinking about does nothing of value for them and as soon as them can start to focus on the positive things that are going on in their lives their energy will shift from negative to positive and they will start attracting more and more positive situations. 

 

  Remember -- you only get one life and one chance. Make the most of it. Stop defeating yourself. Today rid your mind of negative thinking and begin to discover the Power of  Positive Thinking.

 

 

Here's to your success!  Remember:

"The body will not go where the mind has not been"

Being negative definitely making things diffucult.  Being positive at least gives the best at achieving success

Bob,

You are what you think.  Unfortunately, society is focused on the negative as well as the media.  If only everyone would focus on the positive, the world would be a much better place.

Thanks for reblogging this post, otherwise I would have missed it.
