Mind over matter

Don’t you sometimes feel miserable when you feel like you’re forced to do something against your own will? And more often than not you fail at doing that thing if you’re NOT FEELING it…


I’m a big believer in mind over matter. But I just know deep down in my guts that when my mind don’t wanna rise above the matter. When my mind just wants to relax…and not feel pressured…


Well anyway, that’s how my mind feels now. it doesn’t wanna be pressured. So my matter (my nice blubber of fatty matter) is telling me: you need to be slim and trim!


But my mind is saying: I can’t handle the pressure! I can’t do this anymore!


AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


What do I do? My internal organs are having a civil war! They are collaborating against me!


I am going to compromise. Compromise is a reality of life. We gotta do it at work, at home, and in love. so now I am doing it with the civil insurgents.


Ok, I won’t be on a strict diet of no eating. But I won’t be on a see food diet either.


I am going to make a mind over matter promise that I will go to the gym minimum 4 times a week. so, this week I have been to the gym twice – I have underperformed and not lived up to my compromise contract.


Thus next week and on, it will be 4 times gym! and it will be moderate food consumption versus strict no food intake!


ahhhhhhh [sigh of relief - not panic!]

Now, things are back into their natural order and the war has ceased, for now…

  1. Well who am I to give this advice, but I think you need to convince yourself that it's a lifestyle... if you were able to go this far... YOU CAN DO IT!!! Don't let your mind play games...
