In a Harvard study, they looked at exercise and the mind. They started by asking Chambermaids how much exercise they got in a course of a week. The subjects were women who were exercising all day at work, but because exercise is generally thought of something they did outside of work, they actually saw themselves as not getting any. Despite their beliefs, exercise is good for one’s health, they were expected to be healthy. Actually, at the start of the study they were not.

They were divided into two groups and the researchers explained to one group that their work was exercise. They were told, ” You’re getting more exercise then the surgeon general recommends.” They were shown how various exercises they did were equivalent to working on different machines at the gym. When researchers returned a month later, they asked the chambermaids if they changed any habits or routines they had been doing before the study. Exercising outside of work? Change eating habits? There had been no changes. The only difference was that now they saw their work as exercise.

In that month, this group had lost weight, reduced their body mass and blood pressure levels. All of this happened because of their change in mindset.

How wonderful is this!! The power of the mind!!!
