Are Your Fitness Goals Believable?

I just returned from Riviera Maya, Mexico and had a fantastic time. I’m now certified in open water and advanced SCUBA diving. It’s truly amazing, when you think about it that about 70% of our planet is covered in ocean. In addition, 98% of the water on the earth is from the ocean.

About mid-way through my trip I decided to do something really mean. My roommate seemed a little bummed out so when he came out of the bathroom from showering, I told him about three drop dead gorgeous girls that moved into the room next to ours. The reason this was mean was because it was an utter lie. Needless to say, his frown turned to a smile and his face lit up with excitement. Of course, shortly after I told him the truth.

The reason I tell you this story is that my friend’s emotional reaction had NOTHING to do with the truth. His feelings were based on what he thought was the truth.

Researchers have found that if our conscious mind doesn’t believe something is true, it’s impossible for our subconscious mind to believe it. Unfortunately, some of us suffer from something called F.E.A.R. This is an acronym for false evidence appearing real. For whatever reason, we have an idea in our head that we can’t achieve a fitness goal. This is based on false information in our head and not on reality.

2) Motivational quote of the month

Nothing can stop a man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
