Change Your Thinking

All successful people have one thing in common. Good Thinking! They realize that to change their lives, they must change their thinking.

"All that we are is a result of what we have thought"........Buddha

Very, very basic, but true.  If we always do what we've always done, we'll always get what we've always gotten.  Also true, if we always think the way we have always thought, we will always get the same results.

In order to facilitate real, lasting change of our lifestyles toward better health and fitness, we not only need to change what we eat and how we move (exercise) but also, how we think.

I once read a cute blurb: "We only like things that are good and don't like things that are bad."  When I read that, I thought, "That's right.  It's all in the interpretation!"

How do you interpret "things, foods, thoughts, etc?"  Are you still looking at, let's use the example, "homemade gooey cookies" as good?  Or is your first impression, "they are bad, unwelcome, poor health contributors, bad for me?  I know I may sound a bit extreme, but, if we don't change the way we think about certain things, will we ever really be able to make that change?

Try to identify certain thought patterns you may experience that may be a "stumbling block" in your healthy lifestyle journey.
