"Whether you think you can or think you can't - you're right".
Henry Ford
This is a very powerful thought & it's also B.S.
If it empowers you it's powerful if not then it's B.S. Thoughts, positive or negative, only have power if you let them.
How you respond to thoughts and your opportunities is what defines your wellbeing, health and levels of success.
It might be empowering to do so from a place of confidence and belief
But it might be just as empowering to overcome doubt & excuses.
The truth is you get to choose only when you go beyond thinking and into reality.
Otherwise you thoughts can keep you in fantasy land
TRY THIS
MEDITATE ON THE HEART
- Set a timer for 6 - 21 minutes and tune into the physical sensations of breathing in the rib cage. Allow your thoughts to rise up and float away. Stay connected to your breath and the beating of your heart. If you get drawn into a thought or distracted redirect your attention to the sensations of breathing and the heart beating.
DO SOMETHING PHYSICALLY CHALLENGING
- choose a safe but challenging workout that is going to take you to the edge of your comfort zone. Hear all the voices in your head as the workout unfolds but focus on the task at hand.
DO WHAT YOU SET OUT TO DO.
- set intentions at the start of each day and bring them into existence. At the end of the day reflect did you do what you set out to? If not what thoughts stopped you (what thoughts took you of path)? If so what thoughts didn't stop you (what were you thinking just before doing the thing?)
If you do this consistently you will begin to realise you're more than your thoughts
