Mental Fitness
For long term success we have to give 100 percent
everyday! Once we learn to mentally focus we will
always be motivated! When we are busy all of the
time but not getting anything accomplished, we
aren’t mentally focused! It’s great to have ambition
and many aspirations, but to reach our goals we have
to maintain focus during the process. Focus means
following your step by step plan for a goal without
deviation! This doesn’t mean we don’t have any
freedom to make changes. We just have to make sure
all changes are in line with our ultimate goal.
Meditation and writing down thoughts and plans will
help us focus! When we are focused we can experience
the beauty of the road to our goals. When we go into
an experience, we wrap our minds, bodies, and souls
around the concept and stick to it! If we get a
little off track, we must dig deeper into our goal.
Why was it a goal in the first place? What are the
benefits of pushing through the hard times? What
rewards will we enjoy when we reach our goal? The
focus that we apply now will bring us great joys
down the road! We have to set priorities and focus
on them one step at a time until completion. If we
are committed to our goal, maintaining focus will
keep us from distractions and wasting time and
energy. We have to have faith we will reach our
goal! We have to be strong and withstand the tests
of time to reach the finish line!
Spiritual Fitness
“What we think, we are! If we can believe it, we can
achieve it! Life is just a state of mind” We have
expectations stemming from birth. We usually form
beliefs based on our experiences. It means more to
make experience based on or beliefs. Our
expectations color the way we view life! The Law of
Expectations states that what we believe, or expect,
overtime, at the deepest or subconscious level,
tends to shape our external reality. Energy is in
everything! Our mind shapes our energy into form and
color (the filters through which we see the world.)
Since birth we have stored expectations into our
subconscious. What ever we believe, we can find
evidence to support because at some point in time we
filed it in our subconscious. If we think the world
is ugly, we will see mostly ugliness. If we think
the world is beautiful, despite turmoil and
pollution, we will see the world’s beauty. What we
expect appears in our life because we set in motion
psychophysical forces necessary for its existence!
If we expect to live long, we will! If we really
believe something deep down, it is in our
subconscious. If we only worry about something or
brush ideas along, it is in our consciousness but
not necessarily our subconscious. If you want a
relationship, but expect not to have one then you
won’t have a productive one. If you expect a good
job and wealth, but don’t think you will ever get
it, you won’t. If you had the love and wisdom you
desire, how would you act? Act that way and let it
transform your subconscious! Current problems reveal
negative expectations and our current reality
reveals our expectations! We have to notice when
contradictory thoughts hop into our minds and change
them! We have to realize that we shape our own lives
by what we expect!

Yoga is one of my favorite exercises for
flexibility because it works all your
joints, tendons, and ligaments! It also
massages internal organs and aids in
detoxification by increasing blood flow
throughout the body! Yoga is a calming
practice and allows a powerful connection
with all of the levels of fitness. The
meditation and mantras practiced with yoga
enhances its benefit. |
