What You Think Is What You Are.


All the great thinkers have disagreed over many things but they have agreed collectively on one major truth… we become what we think about.

For example the prophet Solomon is documented to say:

As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.

The Buddha recognized similarly and said:

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

Marcus Aurelius wrote:

A man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.

And the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson said:

A man is what he thinks about all day long.

So we become what we think about.

The reason this is important is this. If you see yourself as fat you will probably be fat. If you want to be slimmer and fitter, you need to act lean, feel lean and do things a fitter person does. The more you feel, experience and act as if you have already achieved your goals, the more likely your goals will become your reality. I understand that it’s not easy, but evidence suggests if you don’t have the right attitude for fat loss, you wont achieve fat loss.

Its important to understand our physiology follows our psychology. In other words our mind creates our reality. Take, for example, the last time you felt embarrassed. Did you blush? If so, that is a case of a thought or emotion (embarrassment) manifesting a physical change (blushing). Another example is when a person gets nervous (thought), their stomach feels queasy (body). Physiology follows psychology.

So if you want to change body shape, you must change the way you think today!
