E D’S NOTE

POWER OF

THE POSITIVE

T

he mind is a mysterious and powerful thing.

As you’ll learn in this issue, your mind can

not only help you to reach your fitness goals

by visualising them (p106), it can also make

you experience the sense of touch differently

depending on the type of music you’re listening

to (p11) or trick you into thinking you’ve eaten

more or less than you actually have (p36).

There’s also a lot to be said for the power of positive

thinking. Believing in yourself and your ability to reach

your goals will help you to muster up the motivation to

get out there and give it everything you’ve got. Think

about it: if you head into a workout thinking it’s not

going to get you anywhere, you’re not very likely

to put in 110 percent, are you? Nope. You’ve created

your very own self-unfulfilling prophecy.

So kick those negative thoughts to the curb and focus

on the positive – your ability to work hard, eat wisely

and recover right. Don’t let any setbacks frustrate you

or tempt you into giving up, and don’t let anyone tell

you that you “can’t”. You’ve got this.
