Mind and Body Power Motivational Quotes – Friends
Friends and their support is one of the most important aspects of being human. If you look at each of your friends, they are unique in who they are and so is the relationship between the two of you.
When you are undertaking a journey towards something new like a new career, lifestyle etc you need to identify the role that each of your friends play in helping you to achieve your goals. This does not mean that it has to be something big and you need to tell them everything you are going through (if you don’t want) but something so simple as a phone call, going for a walk on the weekends/during lunch hour, meeting for lunch, a coffee. Friends are there to support, debrief with, have a few laughs with and obtain another opinion/perspective on situations.
Here are a few quotes to help you remember that your friends are there for you and you can lean on them in the ways that you identify as support. Friendship is not all one sided and true friends will feel privileged that you have talked to them and asked for their support towards being healthier and happier. And may be deep down they are wanting to achieve the same thing and haven’t wanted to ‘burden’ you!!!!
Mind and Body Power Motivational Quotes – Work Balance
Searching for the elusive work-life balance, we usually believe that work is the main constant and the other aspects of our lives need to alter for us to find balance. There are a few things that we need to really ask ourselves:
- What are the 3 most important things in my life?
- What do I need for my stress levels to reduce?
- Can I work smarter rather than harder in some areas of my life and achieve better results?
There are some things that human beings need:
- security
- certainty
- love
- fulfilment
- satisfaction
Are some of the reasons you do not have balance and see work as the main constant is because it is the only entity/place where you get your main needs met?
Would your life be more fulfilling if you were able to obtain the human needs from all aspects of your life?
Restyle Your Life Launch
Mind and Body Power is launching Restyle Your Life!
Restyle Your Life has resulted from the Mind and Body Power Health and Weight Sabotage Survey. Most of the respondents reported that life balance was the most difficult factor to obtain. This factor also contributed to lack of motivation to exercise, eat healthy and be organised.
Restyle Your Life is a way to help you find new ways to find balance that is achievable and that you can fit into your existing life with minimal effort.
Restyle Your Life is a fortnightly challenge of 5 things based on – mind, relationships, nutrition and/or activity – that can easily be fitted into your life. Unlike other challenges, Restyle Your Life challenges are things that you can fit into your existing life to help you gain better life, health, family and work balance.
Gradual changes reduces anxiety, overwhelm and the need to return to comfort zones. It is easier to develop new habits with greater ease if they fit into your current lifestyle rather than changing your lifestyle to fit around new habits. Eventually, this will lead to leading a healthier, happier and more balanced lifestyle.
We want to develop a community of people who are undertaking the same challenges, supporting and encouraging each other.
The more support you have the more successful you are going to be. Invite your friends, family, FB friends, work colleagues to join the challenge with you.
I will be helping you with resources to keep you on track, support, advice and webinars.

Mind and Body Power Motivational Quotes – Comparison
Are you guilty of measuring or comparing yourself against others? Do you compare your strengths, body shape, looks, clothes, success, failures, weaknesses? I will tell you right now that you will be riding the unhappy train to self-pity, low self-esteem, poor self-image and poor body-image. You will never measure up to someone else because you will always find someone who is smarter, more successful, prettier, sexier, stronger than you!
What you are comparing is not the REAL picture! You are comparing your internal and external world to what you perceive the other person’s world looks like. This is not a fair comparison. Each and every person has their issues and on the outside may project a certain persona. If you asked the people, that you are comparing yourself to, I bet you, once you know their REAL story and get the REAL picture, they are not so different to you. These people who you perceive to be better in some way will have their own weaknesses, insecurities, imperfections. We all do!
The true measure of yourself is who you are and how you treat others. Comparison is superficial! Knowing who you are and living who you are (and moving closer to becoming a better person) is the true measure of humanity, your uniqueness and success!
Mind and Body Power Motivational Quotes – Achievement
Achieving in life is a perpetual cycle of constant movement. I believe that even in failure there is achievement as there are lessons to be learned, new opportunities that may arise, better understanding of oneself and growth. If you think about your achievements like a spiral staircase that creates a fluid motion – all directions are possible – up, down, sideways. Sometimes you need to stop and reflect on where you have been and where you are going.
Here are some quotes that may inspire you to start a journey, stay motivated or reflect.
Mind and Body Power Motivational Quotes – Belief
To be or not to be: that is the question
Nearly everyone knows of this famous quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Until this day, this is still a pondering thought. Think of this quote more in this sense:
To believe or not to believe: that is the question
This is what you are really asking yourself every time you set out to achieve something new or set yourself a goal. There are 3 perspectives of this question that you need to answer truthfully not superficially:
- Do I believe that I am capable of achieving?
- Do I believe that I will achieve?
- Do I believe in myself to achieve?
The answers to these questions will either help you to be successful, maintain focus, motivation and push past obstacles and fears OR attempt and either succeed or fail (that is in your hands).
Beliefs are created from early childhood and therefore, are the most difficult aspect of your identity to alter, if they are negative. You need to make clear and significant choices to change your belief systems if you believe that they are causing you to try and fail over and over again. Lack of self-belief is the number 1 killer of your goals and dreams. If you believe you can you will. Below are some quotes that may be useful. If you have any quotes please send them in to share with everyone.
Family Link – Key to Weight & Mental Health
The Mind and Body Power Health & Weight Sabotage Survey returned some really interesting results. This is the first email in the series to provide the outcomes, how it compares to my own theories and practical applications and the research.
For many years, I have consistently seen family links genetically, behaviourally and habitually in:
- health
- lifestyle
- weight, and
- mental health.
The current research is pointing to the links in these areas more and more. The inference from the survey results may also point to this link:
Life Balance May Hold Key to Success
I would like to thank everyone who has filled out the Mind and Body Power Health & Weight Sabotage Survey to date. Here are some of the preliminary results:

52.6% of the respondents reported that they were addicted to food
53.6% of respondents had a family history of obesity
