I use to say "it is mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter!"

Ok, I do mind and it does matter!

So true. I used to think this was a bogus statement. But, I found it is real. I have to push myself into a new reality and make myself do things I never did before. It is mind over matter and, yes, it does matter. My health and personal well being is at stake here and it matters a lot to me. So, I need to stick with the solution and get with the program....it is my life, my body, and my willfulness needs to get out of the way.

All the World is a Stage...

Are you going through a spell where it's just too difficult to meet daily goals, or you just don't feel like it anymore? Then act "as if." Act as if you've already lost the weight, no matter what the scale says. Act as if you've already run a 10K, even if it's a pain to get off the couch. Smile even if you don't feel like smiling. If you act the part, it's easier to imagine those yet-to-be-achieved goals as a future reality. If you dream it, you can be it!

Mind over matter, friends. Mind over matter.

I'm applying My Mind to do what Matters with food choices, exercise discipline, and the right attitude! Mind over Matter wins
