You make up your mind to workout. You make up your mind to to eat right. You make up your mind to kill stress before it kills you. The problem with making up your mind is what your mind makes up after.
Here’s Real Life&Death Lesson #26,034 that I’ve taught football players, college law enforcement students, women’s lifting teams for 45 years – make up your mind before your mind makes it up.
Your mind will make up reasons why you cannot do what you made up your mind to do. When your mind believes that sacrifices have to be made, the mind tempts you to sacrifice working out for hanging out. Then your mind sacrifices eating right for binging out. Left unchecked, the imagined sacrifices force you to sacrifice your Personal Best Shape. Then you take it out on the world. The killer-pain of Personal Worst Shape manifests in anger, rage, and degrees of F’d-up attitudes toward the world around you. You toxify your world and then blame the toxic environment on the innocent.
I wrote book #61 last month called “From Mindset to Set-Minded.” One of the top 51 most-butchered words is mindset. Self-professed social media experts tell you everyday to change your mindset. Sounds like fun until it has to be done.
