2Affirming Habits From Fitness Experts
3Have you ever caught yourself trying to get rid
of negative habits by forcefully resisting them?
For example, when you find yourself tempted by
actions that do not support your weight loss
goals, do you get angry and try to "shout" the
cravings down? Mentally you say, "No! I will not
eat that cookie. I don't need it and it's not on
my food plan.
4I refuse to be a weakling about food or anything
else." Though common, this type of negative
reinforcement is rarely effective, simply because
it moves you into a negative state of mind and
it's hard to make positive choices from a
negative state of mind.
5What you could do instead, however, is begin
consciously affirming the positive habits that
you are trying to adopt. For example, when you
begin your daily workout say to yourself with
feeling, "I really love the way working out makes
me feel. I'm getting stronger and stronger every
day, and soon my workouts will get much easier."
6And what should you do with the negative habits?
Give them as little attention as possible. Simply
switch your focus away from temptations and don't
make a big deal out of them. Remember, the more
attention and focus you give them, the more power
you give them.
7Do the same thing if you have an off day and make
a few unhealthy decisions. Rather than obsessing
about the slip and beating yourself up over it,
simply admit that you made some bad decisions and
vow to do better beginning now. Pat yourself on
the back for continuing to try improving your
habits, and affirm that you will keep getting
better.
8Its time to slip into mode and convince yourself
of the things you do want to hear. Fitness
experts such as myself use these tools every day
in our personal training business to help
motivate and inspire our clients. There is not
reason why you can't learn the same tools too!
Allow yourself some slack, we all have bad days
and one thing for sure..we all enjoy a snack
every once in a while too.
