“I just don’t like to exercise, I don’t have time, weight lifting is boring, I can’t stay with good nutrition because I feel deprived and unsatisfied.”
If those thoughts and beliefs run through your mind, they are preventing you from ever finding your “sweet” spot with a fitness regime & nutrition plan. In fact, they play blocker at your every turn keeping you frustrated, struggling, and in a never-ending cycle of start and stop.
Your trainer, your fitness classes, and your nutrition plan are tools. They do not hold the secrets to weight loss, weight gain, gorgeous muscle definition, or putting a stop to sugar and carbohydrate cravings.
Would you like a physical practice that makes you feel strong and powerful, like a warrioress and fuel your body with lavish, clean food that satiates you like a queen at a royal buffet?
YOU CAN HAVE ALL OF IT.
But . . . .
The secret weapon lies within you, deep beneath the tip of the iceberg in your subconscious mind. Your programmed system of beliefs about yourself, your life, your relationships – including your relationship with your body and your food are the keystones to your success. These golden nuggets of positive or negative subconscious beliefs lead you down a path of passion and crazy results OR frustration and failure.
Take the time to examine your Negative, Self Sabotoging Beliefs vs. Their Positive Counterparts.
Below are some very simple and almost superficial statements. Knowing deep down if you truly believe these statements or not is your first step.
Negative, Self-Sabotoging Beliefs: {Fill in the blank}:
1. _____________________ (exercise, weight lifting, eating clean) is hard.
2. I don’t have time to _________________ (exercise, change my nutrition, figure it out).
3. I do not have support from others.
4. It’s too hard.
5. It’s boring.
6. I can’t.
Positive, Self-Enhancing Beliefs:
1. I look for, and usually find, the gift and opportunity in life’s challenges.
2. I want to live.
3. I easily receive support from others.
4. I am in control of my life.
5. I expect things to turn out for the best.
6. I can and I deserve to be the best me.
Now that you have honestly asked yourself these questions and know your answers, it’s time to start discovering your action plan to transform any negative beliefs once and for all. You’ve got to really really really REALLY want to change, educate yourself, and then finally believe that your personal metamorphosis is possible.
