Acting your way to better thinking....
On today's BFL guestbook, one of my favorite BFL'ers, Mike Harris responds to one of our friends who is struggling to get back on track:
Maegan, you will need to act your way to better thinking, instead of trying to think your way into better actions. You know what to do--so do it--and then youll want to. Right now, youre trying to tell yourself you want to, but youve got to tell yourself to do it--whether self wants to or not! Then, the better attitude and dedication will follow. Good luck all! ....Mike Harris
I can't agree more.
When I first started the Body for Life program I didn't know what to do. But I do know how to "act" like I do. I've spent my life...faking it until I could make it. The BFL book shows us what we need to do. I read it and then started acting it out each day. Soon I was thinking better and success followed.
Thanks again Mike. During this, my ultimate challenge I am acting real hard and telling myself to just do it!
Now on to yet another thinkin' large and reachin' for the stars goal.
During the next 12 weeks I will schedule and keep all of those medical check-ups and tests that come with being a woman and a person over the age of 50. Many I have put off....because they aren't too pleasant. It's simply a matter of taking great care of this BODY FOR LIFE. If you are due for your physical, chest x-ray, mammogram, pap, colonoscopy...etc. pledge today to set up that appointment and follow through. You are worth it!
Note to self: Write another email to Oprah requesting an hour long program focusing on the BFL program and its remarkable success stories from around the world. (See my June 1 blog about this International Grassroots effort. If you agree, please take time today to email her too.)
Have a great BFL day and remember what Mike Harris suggests. If you are struggling "Act your way to better thinking!"
Your BFL buddy,
Michelle

Here's a copy of what I posted to the Oprah Winfrey web-site for a future show ... "Please consider doing more shows like your 'How to Look 10 Years Younger Now!' show. But this time focus on more real-life transformations that were resultant from proper diet and exercise versus surgery and/or Hollywood make-up artistry. Bring back spokespersons and champions from the Body-for-Life program. Allow for these folks to explain BFL and also include your favorite fitness gurus: Bob Greene and Dr. Phil. Consider a panel of experts to include Sly Stallone, the 'Governator', Bill Phillips of BFL fame, etc. But most of all consider the stories of real life people such as Julie Whitt, Michelle Lee, Porter Freeman, and/or Kelly Adair."
Now this might be a little BIGGER idea than your original plan. But I hope it helps your cause.
