M3:D59 Forgetting

It is my belief that in order to draw your goals to you it will be necessary for you to forget some of what you've learned.  I think that too many of us read everything and then get confused over what goes with what.  This leads to disasterous results.  We need to organize our thoughts and forget some of what we've learned in order to properly utilize the important knowledge we've picked up over time.

Forgetting is not an easy thing to do.  I believe that for some reason the human brain is optimized to hang on to things.  How many times have you had an argument with someone only to have them bring up something from the past that they had “forgiven and forgotten”?  Obviously they may have forgiven you (hence they didn't argue their point any longer) but they clearly had not forgotten.  Forgetting just isn't that easy.  However, I'm here to tell you that forgetting is something you have to do to move ahead with your fitness plan.

Forget the awful habits you once had.  Forget the idea that food is comforting because you can't allow that to be the case any longer.  Forget that you hate working out because you need to workout.  Forget all the habits that brought you to your low point in the first place.
