Which part of your brain are you going to let win this week?
One side will say “today will be the a great day to improve, to not look back and to do all those things that will do me good”.
The other side will say “leave it it’s christmas, you have done ok this year so give in, eat what you want, don’t exercise and start your holiday now, after all everyone else is”!
Do you remember when you used to tell yourself that this time would be different? How strong is that motivation right now? I know many of you are very happy with your progress, but none of us are perfect so what more can we give to finish the year off strong?
We all need a daily “word with ourselves”. If we don’t, its inevitable we will start the long drag back to where we used to be.
If we don’t have a positive chat with ourselves, then it’s easy to give up, easy to become untrained again, our muscles will become unresponsive, our minds more acceptant of becoming lazier, we can tell ourselves different stories that being inactive is okay because “that’s what everyone does”.
Exercise is a lifetime thing we need in our lives full stop, we need to constantly work on it.
Eating healthy makes us not only perform physically better, its makes us feel better, think better and looks after our long term health.
Progress starts and ends with our minds and what we tell ourselves each and every day.
Talk to ourselves positively, tell ourselves we will handle all the challenges life throws at us, and actively realise that we have to work on ourselves daily makes sure we never take our health and feeling good for granted, we always look to get better and we always fight off the negative part of our brains which is always fighting to win every day.
We all have the power to keep the positive side in charge to make sure we stay happier, healthier, keep growing and become more fulfilled in life.
