I just started reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown and there is discussion of a fairly new field of reseach called Noetic Science.  According to www.noetic.org Noetic Science is the exploration into the nature and potentials of consciousness using multiple ways of knowing including intuition, feeling, reason, and the senses.  More specifically how our minds can effect our physical being and surroundings. 

Sounds like some mystical mumbo jumbo doesn't it?  Not so fast.  Our minds are more powerful and complex then any of us realize.  It has been proven that our thougths and feelings can have physical manifistations.   Just think of a time when you were under a lot of pressure to get something done.  Your mind is racing and going in a hundred different directions which can often lead to increased levels of stress.  Stress can cause headaches, tightening of muscles, quizziness and other physical problems. 

Bottom line, we have the ability to affect our physical being and surrounding environment with a positive attitude and thoughts.  Motivation starts from within and ultimately it begins in our minds.  If you start out each day telling yourself that it will be a productive day and you will accomplish great things, eventually you will.  Conversely if you wake up each morning with negative thoughts and feelings you may start to see the glass half empty instead of half full.  Just remember the journey to getting yourself and others motivated starts in our minds.  Think big and you will do big things!!!  Go out and have a great day.
