I think therefore I am

Remembering back to my Health teacher Mr Karl Lundgren, in 1989.
The words he kept saying to us over and over were the words of Frenchman, Renee Descartes : I THINK THEREFORE I AM.

Of course, back then, a bunch of rowdy year 9 kids, we thought that was stupid and funny, cause if you thought you were a tomato, you were!!

Funny how it has taken til now, 23 years later to find the time to reflect on the true meaning, that Mr Lundgren had wished us to grasp.
And, now I am finding the words quite inspirational and liberating.

If I think fat... I will become fat.
However, if I think thin, I will become thin.
If I think fit, I will become fit.
If I think strong, I will become strong.
However,If I think scared, I will become scared.
But if I think courageous..that is exactly what I will be.

You know those times when you think you are going to have a totally shitty week and you do...your mindset probably has a whole heap to do with that.
Attitude is everything.
Even though we say nutrition is 70-80% of the game...it is attitude that will determine what nutritional path we take.
And the other 20-30% is exercise...again, try being consistent when you are out there with soot on the liver, as my grandmother used to say.

I love to use affirmations as you may well have gathered. Telling myself, over and over the things I want to be, helps focus my attention.
My favourite affirmation is: All is well in my world :)

Tell yourself this often, and you will start to believe it. Next thing, it will be your truth. How awesome would that be.
Peace, love, joy and harmony are all most of us really want, so start loving yourself and whisper some sweet nothings into your own ear. At the very least, it is going to make you smile.

Have a beautiful week awesome beings xxxxx

Affirmation: I am so hot right now ;)...(yes YOU!! and RIGHT NOW)
I am perfect in every way just as my creator intended. I have all I need to be the best version of myself possible.
