The end of overeating.- "Mind over food"

I mention this book by David A. Kessler, MD because it will help anyone understand that we are bombarded with messages that encourage us to eat more then we should.  Whether that message was a direct negative statement from "an authority" (parent, sibling or friend or foe) or the subliminal messages we receive through advertising, the media and marketers...our subconscious mind believes what it hears..  In most cases that message is engraved in your mind...that little voice telling you what to do, what you deserve, what you will be and how you will act.   Eating is a personal experience......

Golf - Positive practice

"My body is here, but my mind has already teed off."  ~Author Unknown


What's the attitude?..  is it that you have teed off in your mind or that you are teed off in anger over your last shot..........Change the channal  to a positive attitude ......... Do a Mental rehearsal.......Play the course ...........Every club in your bag.....all in your mind before you hit the links   

Thomas Tutko, PhD Co-founder, Institute of Athletic Motivation and Professor of Psychology, San Jose State University says that getting to a state of relaxed concentration and over-learning are techniques that will enable you to perform at your  peak level. (Sports Psyching-Playing your Best Game All the Time)  Hypnosis is a state in which you can mentally rehearse any sport.
