Actually, Sacred Scripture is not so cliche. Depending on what translation of the Bible you use, Proverbs 23:7 writes: As a man thinks within, so he is.
I particularly like this translation because it helps get to the root of holyistic living: you mental state.
Are your thoughts holding you back? Are your thoughts manifesting themselves as a negative attitude? Are your thoughts automatically telling you that you can't do something?
Are you unknowingly holding yourself back? Are your thoughts telling you that you can never get fit. You can never get that job, you could never do "x" (whatever x is to you).
If so, then as Zig Ziglar says: It's time to "get a check up from the neck up."
Check your thinking! Change your thinking!
What is your self Image? Do you see yourself as out of shape? Can you visualize an inshape you? Can you visualize yourself eating the foods that will contribute to an inshape you? Can you visualize yourself doing the things you want to do because you now feel good about yourself and your health?
If not.... "Check up from the neck up" time!
So how does one start their neck up check up?
Step 1: PRAY!
Step 2: Pray More!
Step 3: Take Action from your prayer life.
Getting in touch with God, helps you discern what you need to do. It also gives you the strength to continue or start what you need to do to be who you are meant to be.
Read more positive literature. Hang around positive people, listen to positive music. All these things will help you practically to help you get control of your thinking and move from negativeville to Positive land!
Oh BTW, it does take work: lots of it. But it's worth it.
