It's All in Your Head

Transform an addiction to carbs to an addiction to fruits and vegetables

CULTIVATE YOUR MOJO While Austin Powers’ Mojo was more a source of sensual energy (indeed very important), here I’m referring to mojo as your personal energy source for all that brings joy, meaning, and value satisfaction to your life. As the market for your energy becomes more competitive, demand has a good shot at outpacing supply. When it comes to your precious energy, it’s important not to lose track of the supply-demand balance. Distraction and diversion make it hard to track the needle on the mojo tank. It can insidiously begin to tilt with subtle and certain implications for change in mood, concentration, confidence, pain threshold, and performance. Greater mindfulness of the importance of this balance in your life coupled with the awareness of the need to adapt when time demands get excessive makes possible your potential to sail smoothly under the toughest of circumstances. Transcending these challenges may seem impossible as the perceptions that frame our circumstances create “deflated expectations” of our ability to move forward. We believe we are capable of less than we really are and thus set expectations accordingly. Ask yourself this: Could you limbo beneath the bar at the expectation level you’ve set for yourself?
