"The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind" ~ William James
They say when it comes to accomplishing most things in your life, it becomes attainable and possible the day you set your mind to it. Simply put the biggest change we all need to make comes from between the ears - that is your mind. Most of us forget about the muscle between our ears. Well technically its not a muscle, but it can be exercised.
I personally think what really seems to hold many people back in their efforts to reach their fitness goals - is their mindset. If you have already made your mind up that you will fail or that is just too hard, guess what will happen? The real change comes from within. To reach your fitness or overall health goals, the change has to come from within first. You have to really begin to do what you have to do today, so that you can do what you want to do tomorrow. Not to over simplify it - I understand how hard "change" really is - I believe its one of the hardest things we will all face in our lives. However I am also can testify that it can be done. I am a witness.
According the theory of the Betari Box Model (the below image). Your attitude affects your behavior, which affects your attitude in continuing cycle.
So by implementing the appropriate attitude, you are taking full responsibility for your destiny, which in turn affects your behavior. Being healthy is about taking responsibility for your life. Creating new attitudes and habits toward healthy living require a daily practice - let me say that again - a daily practice of impressing your vision and goals into your mind. So if you want to be healthy then "Be Healthy". If you want to be fit then "Be Fit". The real exercise starts in your mind.
