The trend towards healthier living through improved diet and added exercise is here to stay.
More and more people appreciate how they feel when they feed their bodies healthy food...
and love the way they look and feel after their workouts.
This is all very admirable, but getting physically fit is only part of the equation to stellar personal health.
We must also address the state of our minds because the brain is also a muscle. When we are trying to create or accomplish something we need to call on our powers of concentration and attention and if we have not been actively using these two powers, when we call on them they will be weak and not trustworthy to get the job done.

The muscles of the brain are strengthened from activity and exercise the same way that the body’s other muscles are…
If they are not used and consistently challenged, the muscles in the brain react the same way the muscles in other parts of your body do...they begin to atrophy and eventually die from misuse.

Truth is, you cannot build strong body muscles by sitting on the couch all day and neither can you build your mind muscles - your strong powers of concentration and attention when you are not challenging them.
Attention mastery begins when we are able to direct our attention away from distractions and keep focused on and working towards what’s important.
In the end, what we put our attention towards and what we ignore directly shapes our reality because we’re working with energy.
Don't go looking for short cuts...building the mind's muscles is the same as building physical muscles. It takes focus, time, dedication and work.
So, the question is, are you strengthening your mind muscles through active use or allowing them to weaken through disuse?

Strengthen Your Mind like you strengthen your body by using it
