Creating Positivity In Our Lives- The Power of our Thoughts and Influence.

This is a "re-post" from April of last year.  I felt that it was fitting to re-post this because today at CFFB, we will be holding a Goal Setting Seminar for all our members.  More details on that to come.  Until then, here are some words for thought... 

Everyday, roughly 60,000 thoughts run through our head. The mind has a life of its own. A thought can be positive, negative, or it may have no emotional charge at all.  At times, it can be a challenge to stay positive; it would be nearly impossible to dismiss every negative thought. Our goal, instead, should be to create the life we want to lead, by fostering a feeling of happiness, gratitude, and well-being, and to connect these with results.

Let’s use a CrossFit example.  You want to master the muscle up, however, you think negatively about your ability or performance.  Your personal growth at that point is already stunted and you are separating yourself from reaching your potential. Separation affects every aspect of the self, including emotions, feelings, thoughts, physical responses, health, livelihood, relationships, and society.

One must leave behind the state of separation and negativity and approach the state of unity and positivity. Below, Spiritual leader, Deepak Chopra, provides a road map on how positivity and resolving negativity will eventually lead us to a point where positive thinking works towards living our life’s fullest potential. …(followed by my own thoughts as it relates to CFFB).

•    “Have a vision of the goal”…Dream…believe and you shall achieve!  See how:

•    “Find guidance you can trust, either through a personal teacher, a group or books that describe your journey honestly and accurately”…Consult your coaches; they are there to help!

•    “Meditate, to reach the deeper levels of the mind”…Positive thinking and visualization are vital and powerful activities.  Medical research has proven that our subconscious brain cannot distinguish between an event taking place in thought (visualization), or an event taking place in reality, the physiological responses are the same.  Studies have also shown, through by visualization alone, results improved.

•    “Live a lifestyle that is conducive to expanded awareness; such a lifestyle includes low stress, positive relationships and the absence of violence, anger and fears”…Align your life towards and surround your self with positive environments and like-minded people.

•    “Form good habits in terms of diet, sleep and exercise”…The CrossFit Perscription (Rx).

•    “Heal old wounds from the past”…Change your outlook, release judgement, and replace a negative thought with a positive thought.

•    “Release stuck energies of anger and fear”… Foster feelings of happiness, gratitude, and well-being.

•    “Associate with other people on the path who will support your goals”… We are a not alone as individuals, we are a community, we are family and friends who share common goals and common ground who motivate each other, support each other, and choose CF as a lifestyle to improve our lives.


•    “Live for the highest vision of human potential”…Your Dream will become your reality!   

  

We invite everyone to bring your desires and goals to the gym.  Together, we can cultivate an environment of growth and positivity so that we as individuals and a CrossFit Fort Bragg Family will improve all of our lives and reach our greatest potential.
