Spring Into Action With These Three Mindset Shifts
Happy First Day of Spring!
With the blossoms in the air, it can make us feel more energized and motivated.
Are you struggling to reach your health and fitness goals you set at the beginning of the year? They may be being stunted by your mindset…
Most of us set out on our healthy living journey by starting with a list of goals or targets we’d like to reach, such as:
To go to the gym 6 days a week
To lose 20 lbs before the end of the month
To never indulge in your favorite takeout ever again
These goals are unattainable for someone new to this lifestyle, which can lead to feelings of intimidation, overwhelm and hopelessness.
Instead of setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, what if we started working on attaining a powerful mindset first to help us conquer fears about taking up a new lifestyle?
Here are 3 powerful mindset shifts you can start using NOW with the momentum of SPRING to empower you on your way to health✨:
1. Choosing yourself is an act of generosity
I’m here to tell you that it’s NOT selfish to choose you! I want you to ask yourself two questions:
Who in your life will benefit from you feeling irritable, unhappy and unhealthy?
Who in your life will benefit from you feeling strong, healthy and happy?
With this perspective, taking time for yourself is not selfish, but in fact an act of generosity.
2. This is NOT hard
You need to start viewing this process of change as a gift to your future self. Change is never easy, but by viewing it this way you can save yourself the time and uneasiness of thinking of this as an uphill battle of pain and deprivation.
3. To say “I’ll try” is setting yourself up for failure
Commit to the changes you’re making in life. Start by committing with one habit change to not overwhelm yourself. You can then focus on being consistent leading to feelings of success. No trying allowed!
The bottom line: your mindset is responsible for your successes and your failures.
