exercise-to-have-fun

 

I had an awesome workout this morning.

Why was it so good?

Because I focused on all the reasons I wanted to move my body instead of all the reasons I didn’t.

I was able to push myself and see progress. Most importantly, I was having fun!

Not only did this focus help me during today’s workout, but it’s actually helping me create positive momentum so that my next workout will be great, too.

Most women feel like they HAVE to exercise or eat healthy.

It feels like something they are being forced to do.

They may spend most of their time dreading upcoming exercise and then complaining about it in their mind the whole time they are doing it.

With chronic thoughts like that, is it any wonder dieting and exercise seem so hard?

While you can’t go from hating to move your body to loving it in an instant (that just feels like a big fat lie) you can begin to focus on all the reasons you WANT to move your body and eat healthy foods rather than all the reasons you don’t.

This will make a huge difference in creating the body you want.

Here are some of the reasons I love moving my body and eating foods that feel healthy to me. I invite you to create a list of your own.

  • I love moving myself towards optimal wellness.
  • I love having fun moving my body.
  • I love that moving my body is more like play than work.
  • I love being out in the sunshine and fresh air, and how freeing that feels.
  • I love the energy I generate by working out and eating well that carries me throughout my day.
  • I love the clarity of mind I have when I consistently eat well and move my body.
  • I love that I am strong, fit, and slim, getting stronger, fitter, and slimmer.
  • I love being fit enough to do the things I want to do in life.
  • I love being fit enough to easily carry in large bags of groceries or pet food, and do everyday chores.
  • I love the stamina I have as a result of moving my body.
  • I love how good I feel about myself when I look in the mirror and like what I see.
  • I love that I have learned enough that I am staying within 3 to 4 pounds of my optimal weight.
  • I love feeling good about what I choose to eat and how much I eat.
  • I love that all my body systems are functioning optimally and that my metabolism is revved up.
  • I love that the food I eat benefits every cell in my body.
  • I love drinking plenty of clean, good tasting water that hydrates my body and helps me function at my best.
  • I love being conscious and appreciative of everything that I eat.
  • I love how good fresh fruit and vegetables taste.
  • I love feeling good!

Focusing on why you WANT to do things is powerful!

It motivates and inspires you to take the actions that will move you towards what your really, really want. Focusing on why you don’t want to do things is equally powerful—and makes taking action that much harder.

I would love to hear all the reasons you want to move your body and pick healthy foods that feel good to you! Leave a comment or send me an email.

Together we can do it!
