Changing your mind can change your body, too

The first step in charting the right course to fitness is to recognize how your thoughts are undermining your exercise plan.Psychologists say our “self talk” or “internal dialogue” can make or break a fitness routine. The problem is that many people simply aren’t aware of how destructive their thoughts are.
