Its not always about the right workout, number of reps, sets, machines vs dumbells, yoga, pilates, classes, gym memberships, workout videos, no carbs, protein, supplements, fad diets, cleansing, surgery or other. If that isn’t it…what is the number one factor for losing weight, getting ripped, and developing the body of your dreams?
It’s about how you think…that little voice in your head…
What does yours say all day?
Is it positive or negative?
Is it encouraging and excited or does it criticize and complain about everything?
How about when you think of losing weight, working out or eating better foods?
What does that voice say about that stuff?
Write it down or just be conscious of it. That little voice is running your life. It controls your thoughts, which become your emotions, your actions, your speech and eventually how others view you and treat you on a daily basis.
You have control over your thoughts
Start small. Practice a smile and a happy thought all day. Start your day with an inspirational story, video, prayer or book.
Every time your thoughts go to negative, remind yourself to smile and think of something that makes you happy. Fake it. Force it. Trick yourself. Do whatever it takes to break the cycle that is keeping you from achieving happiness and gratefulness. Once you are starting to take control of your thoughts, begin to speak life into your world. Then it is time to act on those words. After action, watch as the world will begin to see you in a new light. Look for it purposefully, and see that you are gifted, and achieving your desires and dreams.
There are definite actions, goals, and measurements that need to be set in place, but it has to start somewhere. And while it is nice to be able to blame everything else. This only leaves you out of your own life.
Want to lose weight, get ripped, and develop the body of your dreams? Start thinking, talking, acting and looking at your life and world in a positive way. Your relationship with yourself and those around you are what are keeping you in your current situation. If your relationships don’t change your life, then you need to change your relationships in your life. It all starts with you!
So, smile!
You are surrounded by amazing things, amazing places and amazing people!
Be thankful everyday for the things you have in your life and you will be happier, healthier and have more fun along your way! Have a great week!
