Day 3 of my #fallbackintoshape2017 challenge and it's what we call in our religion "fast Sunday." We go without two meals and give the money we would've spent in tithes. Physical hunger I've found, can be both frustrating and instructive. It teaches me repeatedly that my mind is so much more powerful than I often believe, and when I abstain from anything I realize the value of it and redefine what it truly means to me.

"Imagine if you treated your dreams and goals like it was your only food source. Imagine how hungry you would be to protect those dreams and how hard you would go after them."             - Cornell Thomas

This quote could not be more in line with where my heart is today. Thanks Cornell! My workout today is mental. I'll be doing 30 mins of meditation.

I'm now reading "A Return to Love" by Marianne Williamson. It's very insightful. She says "the brain is like a bio-computer that manufactures whatever we feed into it with our thoughts (8)." And later, "Thought is Cause; experience is Effect (24)". How true that is. My greater goal is to be more conscious in my life - more in control of my attitude and thoughts and more aware of my self-talk. ✌❤🕉
