Change Your Mind
Sometimes we have to change our mind before we create our muscles 💪.
Your mind is the only thing holding you back. Your mind is the only thing creating the excuses that are holding you back from achieving your fitness goals.
But your mind is the hardest thing to change.
Here’s the Top 3 Changes I made to get my mind on board with the change in my body I KNEW I deserved:
I started realistically. Not small, but realistically. I planned workouts 🏋️♀️ into my day that I knew wouldn’t have me rushing for time or stressed that it was taking up too much of my day. I made sure I had back up workouts planned for when my original workout 🏋️♀️ wasn’t going to fit into the constraints of my day.
I listened to my body and respected it. It meant shoving my ego out of the way and meeting my body where it was at for THAT DAY. Maybe that means going lighter on the weights because I slept funny or doing a yoga 🧘♀️ session instead of cardio because my hamstrings felt tight. Regardless, I was showing up for myself and reinforcing healthy habits.
I focused on how GOOD I felt AFTER the workout 🏋️♀️. I never forgot my ultimate fitness goals, but that is not my main focus during my workout. My focus is on the knowledge that I’ll feel amazing when my workout is done, regardless of the kind of workout I do.
