Manipulating Your Mind for A Healthier You

Wednesday, January 1, 2014 marks two weeks since I became a vegetarian. All I can say is, so far so good. It is so amazing how people believed I would get tempted by certain things; however I have not stopped my current journey to enlightenment, restraint, and a healthier me. What some fail to realize is that I have already been tested by similar circumstances. These certain circumstances assisted me with discontinuing to allow my emotions run the way I thought about certain things. The mind is a very challenging organ to control. Once you learned the techniques of controlling my mind, I was well on your way of becoming healthier through healthy mind manipulation.  

My five steps in Manipulating Your Mind for Health Results

1. Understand the things (Food, behaviors, etc.) that tempt you, such as candy, cookies, and TV. This allows you to know some of the things you want to decrease or stop doing.
2. Make a plan to decrease and eventually eliminate your unhealthy vices. A plan allows you to come up with concrete strategies.
3. Eliminate these things little by little. It makes no sense abruptly giving up on everything at once and relapsing to where you binge out of control.
4. Bring yourself into contact with these unhealthy vices from time. The only way to show that you have self-restraint is by actually coming into contact with these things and having the strength to stand by your decision. 
5. Say no. Tell yourself that you do not need certain things. Saying no to yourself allows you to understand that this may be something that you want; however not necessarily something you need. After a while of saying no to things, you will be able to conquer feelings of wanting something.

These are just a few of the steps I have used to health manipulate my mind to a healthier me. Are you ready for a healthier you?
