Your Mind Body Connection

What do these things have in common?

Weight loss, stress reduction, time management, communication skills, self esteem, money flow.

Answer: You.

All these areas of your life are linked together just as your mind and body are linked together within the person that is you. When you make the commitment to improve your life in any one of these areas you inevitably begin to address all the others areas too.

Permanent weight loss is difficult to achieve without implementing stress reduction techniques as well. Permanent stress reduction is a real challenge to maintain without learning the time management skills that will keep you from feeling overwhelmed. I could go on and on, but the point is that to really make meaningful changes in any one area of your life it requires a commitment to improving your whole life.

Your mind and your body are connected after all, so to make physical changes that you desire (less weight, more money, etc.) you must also make mental changes. Everything begins with thought. Your thinking determines your beliefs, your attitudes, your expectations, and ultimately your outcomes.

Your whole life is a reflection of your thinking up until now. So if you want to change and improve your future in anyway all you really need to do is commit to changing the way you think.

This realization is simple but profound. It doesn’t require research and education, merely self refection, personal responsibility, and a commitment to change.

Here’s an exercise to help you incorporate this belief system into your thinking:

Take a nice deep breath and just relax. Notice the quality of your breath and be at peace with yourself and your environment as you turn your focus inward.

Say to yourself: “I am the result of all my past thinking up until now.”

Take another deep breath and accept the truth of that statement.

Now say to yourself: “I take full responsibility for everything in my life.”

And as you release that breath realize how empowering that statement is.

Finally, say to yourself: “Every day in every way I’m becoming better and better”.

And believe it, because it’s true.

Seeing you on the ship and reading your dialogues has truly helped me. I would very much like to see you again in person and have a meeting with you. How can I go about that? Would you please consider this? I feel as though you are one of the few people that can help me. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I have noticed that my emotions and my body are very deeply connected. If my emotional state breaks, my body too breaks down. And if physically I am unfit, my emotions too aren’t in my control. Was wondering if you know how are these two connected.

Hi Virginia,

I’m glad my seminar and articles are helpful to you. In person meetings are really only possible at the seminars themselves because of my touring schedule.

I am planning an online coaching club that will be launching soon. This will be an affordable, regularly accessible way to keep the process going. Watch your emails for details.
