Fitness And Exercise: How To Stop Battling Frustration To Lose Weight

(Continued …)

To examine your self-talk, look at what you want to be. If you want to be a toned, fit, healthy person - pay attention to what you tell yourself when that image or thought comes to mind. If you’re inner self-talk is negative, take notice and replace your thoughts with positive thoughts. If you tell yourself “no matter what I do I will always have fat thighs” reject the thought – you do not know that is of truth - and replace it with something that is of truth. “I have strong thighs that help me enjoy my favorite activities.” “I am exercising and my thighs are firmer and stronger.”

The self-talk you express give instruction to your spirit of how you want to be. Start expressing positive thinking and beliefs instead of berating yourself continually about being fat, flabby, and out of shape. Rather, express how full of energy and strong you are and how you are taking inspired action to living a life of being fit and healthy.

To listen to your spirit, practice taking the time for silence, or meditation. Here is where you can listen to what your body needs and take action from there. If under chronic stress, mediation, yoga, tai chi, Pilates, or easy gentle walks may be more appropriate exercise to start out with. If feeling good, having little stress and pressures from the world, your spirit and your inner need may lead you to a more focused workout that elevates your heart rate, and challenges your body to a moderate or vigorous level.

Taking an inside out approach towards your fitness goals will help give increased clarity, inspire you towards actions that honor and value you, leading you to a more joyful experience.
