The Power of our Minds! 05/20/2010
I made quiche tonight. Now that isn't very interesting but I'll tell you what is. My eight year old worked himself up about how it was "gross" and he wasn't going to like it. Quiche is eggs, milk and cheese. All things he likes and eats on any given Sunday morning. I added a bit of bacon (something he eats) and a bit of spinach. Now this child has probably had spinach though I'll admit, I don't use it frequently. It has been mixed in without his knowledge. So this is the deal. He spends the evening thinking about and talking about the quiche. He worries that he won't like it and talks about how he won't like it and as we sit down to eat it he takes one look and nearly makes himself ill. You can only imagine the obligatory "one bite". The power of the mind? Powerful. Isn't it astounding? What if I had been on my game and helped him psyche himself up for it rather than out of it? Can you do the same at will? Wondering what I've talked myself out of...how about you? Christy Dutilly Comments Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
