When setting a goal, a common phrase that is used to assist in overcoming an obstacle is, “mind over matter. Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t — either way you’re right.” However, there are times when the mind may lose track of what is important and a reset is needed. Lao Tzu once stated, “if you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place.” Sometimes meditation, yoga, or a spiritual weekend can allow you to restore your mind and set a new calming intention for a more positive outlook on your day.
