Mindset is a powerful thing. Being able to convince yourself that you can do something is sometimes the difference between making it and not making it. 

Once you get in the correct mindset for what you are trying to accomplish, you can do just about anything.

It's tough to separate your in-gym mind from the pressures of the outside. It's hard to not want to crawl into the bottom of a container of Ben and Jerry's when your life is going to shit. 

Changing your mindset to one that focuses on and continually reinforces behaviors that get you towards your goals can be life-changing. 

What happens when you view your training as a life-long practice rather than an attempt to go HAM each time you show up. What happens when you shift your priorities with food and begin to crave and enjoy quality over convenience and crap? What can be accomplished when you try to master movement rather than view it as throwaway information that just gets you into the workout? 

That's a killer mindset. 

What if you view your nutrition as 80/20 and the 80 is actually a generous 50? When you look at food with a conflict between desire and health? When you look at eating well as a sacrifice and that training is torture you have to withstand?

That's a losing mindset. That's accepting defeat before even getting to the battlefield. 

You have to free the constraints on your defeatist mind and unlock the potential to do life-long good for yourself and your loved-ones. Giving up beer/ice cream/drive-through isn't giving up, it's giving in to a winning mindset.
