Anything You Negate You Can Never Have
Take the time for a second to really think about how you feel towards others who have things you want. Do you get angry or mad, or do you get excited and wish them ever more of whatever it is that you want. The feelings you have towards others could be what is holding you back for getting these very things.
There is an old Hawaiian philosophy and saying that says “Bless that which you want.” Why is this so effective and so important when it comes to health and fitness? It all has to do with neuroscience and the way in which your mind works.
Lets say you see someone who is as fit and as healthy as you would eventually like to be. You look at this person and their body and you soon become filled with anger and envy. The more you think about this person the more hated you seem to have. Believe it or not, I heard this all the time when I was coaching people. Many times people would often say how skinny, fit people would litterally make them sick. Why is this a bad thing?
Well lets think for moment. When you see someone with something you want and you feel distaste for this person, you are telling your mind that having this or that is a bad thing. That it is literally wrong to look this way or even wrong to have whatever it is you are looking at. You mind therefore relates this as something to stay away from and it will never bring it into your life.
You are basically programming your mind that those with the things you want are evil. As long as you see yourself as a good person, I can guarantee you will never have those things. Remember envy is ingonorace.
Begin today to monitor how you feel towards the people who have the things you want. If you feel negative towards these people, immediate switch your thinking and begin to bless that person and bless whatever it is that has caused you to become negative. You are now telling your mind that these are good things to have. Eveutally this will become a habit and you will soon feel your feelings towards these things change.
Please don’t dismiss this simple yet powerful principle. You literally have everything in your life what you keep telling your brain you want. Neuroscience has proven it. Are you telling your mind it’s OK to look good naked or are you telling it the opposite? It is completely up to you.
