Many a times we keep wondering how people around us manage to maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout their life and hardly falter. Well, neither any magic nor any strong support system at home can be responsible for this. The only secret to this is your own MINDEST. Our mind is a powerful tool we are still discovering and just beginning to unleash. Any level of success can be harnessed by our mind. Our mind operates on the basis of Knowledge and experience hence it is important to feed our brain with the knowledge and experiences which we can relate to what we need to achieve. For example, if we get a thought to shift to a healthy lifestyle, then we should have enough knowledge and experiences which would support that thought. Our thoughts shape who we are and who we will become, as well as influence our physical well-being and our emotional state. Speak to any fitness freaks. What motivates him is only his thought which is based upon his knowledge and experience about health. No temporary craze for fitness can make him an achiever. Those hit by craze are the ones who are the best defaulters. They have no idea why they are modifying their diet and lifestyle. So now, coming to the point, we are first supposed to condition our mind in such a way that it would relate well to our actions. This type of modification in our lifestyle will result into NOT CHANGES but TRANSFORMATION. Relate this transformation to the lifecycle of a butterfly. How gracefully it goes through various stages and finally is transformed to a butterfly? This change is irreversible. CHANGES are temporary which do not support compliance, consistency and sustenance. So, fix your mind first. Nourish it with the suitable knowledge which will finally lead to an irreversible transformation. The ultimate secret to achieve a healthy lifestyle is to only involve your mind in the whole process and experience the real magic of thoughts being translated into actions.
