The power of the mind is incredible. Our minds can be even more powerful than the physical
body.
A strong physical body and negative mindset = weak outcome
A positive mindset and limited physical body = stronger

A positive mindset and strong physical body = unstoppable

This concept has been studied and expanded upon for decades.
It started with Applied Kinesiology (AK).
AK, also known as ‘muscle testing’ or ‘biomechanics’,
is a well-documented method to diagnose anything, from illness to food
intolerances. This was invented by George J. Goodheart, a chiropractor, in
1964, when he realized that beneficial stimuli increase the strength of certain
indicator muscles, while harmful stimulation causes the same muscles to weaken
suddenly. The method is currently used by both medical doctors and alternative
practitioners around the world.
Dr. John Diamond took the research
to a new level when he started to test muscle response to intellectual and
emotional stimuli. He tested everything, from music to speeches and images,
obtaining consistent results, indicating that certain intellectual and
emotional stimuli strengthen or weaken the indicator muscle. His findings are
described in detail in his book The Body Doesn’t Lie.
This is not to say one should be arrogant. Arrogance can get you killed. This is simply to state a fact that negative thoughts
can impact your ability to perform techniques effectively. Being positive and confident can make a significant
difference.
Stay positive and keep practicing.

Keep your mind away from negative
