To some degree there may be truth. I know when I get really into something, I begin to go about my self with that thing in mind. In high school when I played chess a lot, when I would do things I would think of it as a move and think "ok if I do this, this this will happen, but if I do this.." It's kind of hard to explain but my mind acted a little weird.
Then also when I'm deep into programming, I begin to act the same way. And I have woken up from sleeping to come up with a solution to a problem I was having.
I don't know about health bars, but when you become so accustomed to a certain way of thinking, I guess your mind tends to lean that way in other aspects of your life.
