MIND OVER MATTER

I saw an interesting news story yesterday about Olympic teams who are receiving some alternative training by joining the Navy Seals program for a few days. 

The point of this specialized training is to “re-set their baseline” and challenge any limitations they may have created in their own minds.

Interestingly, after a bit of Navy Seals training, these Olympic teams are able to go back and defeat opponents they could not compete against before.   Why is that?

Psychologically there are a couple of important factors at work here.  We all automatically set limits in our own minds of what we can and cannot achieve.  We look at our parents and other role models, we see what our friends achieve, and we decide unconsciously what our own potential is.  Once we decide this, we have limited ourselves to just those achievements.

This can be especially true in the physical realm.  If you believe your body does not have the potential to go beyond certain limits, than you are correct.  You will not achieve beyond those self-imposed limitations.

Being forced to endure or achieve beyond what you think you are capable of is a mind blowing experience!   It is only then that you know that you are actually only limited by your own belief system.

This is even more true emotionally.  If you believe right now that you are not capable of attracting exactly what you desire into your life; if you believe love is not available to you, or that you aren’t capable of maintaining positive relationships, you are correct.  You will not find the love you seek.

But if you decide today that love is the most important and satisfying experience in life, and make it your top priority, you have taken the first step towards reaching your goal.  When you can clearly visualize attaining an important personal goal, it becomes real to you.  Then you know you will do whatever it takes to reach that goal.

Your mind is your most powerful tool, and what you focus on does GROW!  How do you see yourself now?  Are you worthy of the best love in the world?

Do something TODAY to believe in love again.  Take the risk, read my book, begin writing a journal and study your own self-talk.  Where does that harsh self-criticism come from?

You may have self-imposed, internalized obstacles like fear and shame, which you must learn how to conquer.

Find a way to believe in yourself again!
