Love To Exercise And It Shows

By

If you need a little boost to get you to the gym, start the day with positive affirmations and you’ll see a remarkable transformation in your fitness level. Affirmations are positive reinforcements that rewire your brain and change your thoughts from negative to positive. Affirmations are the recipe for an “I can” attitude.

I absolutely love to exercise. Not only does exercise release all those wonderful endorphins that make me feel good, exercise does wonders for my body. It slims, shapes and tones my entire body. Exercise strengthens my muscles and increases my flexibility. I feel young, vibrant and energetic when I exercise regularly.

Exercise empowers me. I am a confident woman, not only because my body shows the effects of fitness, but because I constantly challenge myself by reaching for the next level. Patience and persistence are my allies, as I allow my body time without giving up hope and giving in. These are the building blocks of confidence: set goals that challenge your body, mind and soul and then to give yourself a chance to achieve these goals, before giving up hope.

Affirmations ensure that you never give up hope. Affirmations help you to stay focused on your goals and your achievements. Many times women who have been exercising don’t see the results they hoped for. They start to feel as if their workouts just aren’t working. When affirmations are a part of your fitness program, your positive attitude is all it takes to keep you assured of your progress. Affirmations keep you focused on the big picture.

Negative thoughts keep you trapped in a paradox. The more you beat up on yourself, the weaker you become. The weaker you become the more you berate yourself. It’s a vicious cycle but one that you can break very easily.

Below are 10 of my favorite affirmations that focus on exercise. Engage your mind, body and soul and repeat these affirmations each morning. You will find yourself looking forward to your workouts and ready to meet new challenges daily.

1. I love to exercise.
2. My body becomes more beautiful each day.
3. Exercise makes me feel good.
4. I am slim and trim.
5. Others notice how great I look and feel.
6. I love and approve myself.
7. Every day, I feel stronger and healthier.
8. I am replacing fat with muscle.
9. My clothes look great on my body.
10. I am getting stronger and better looking every day.

Affirmations For A Healthy Lifestyle

By

Many people spend their lives trying to attain wealth, which they equate with happiness. However, there is no greater wealth than our own health. Yet, we rarely appreciate our health, until it is gone. Unfortunately, once we compromise our health, it is not so easy to restore. Many times the cost of our loss of health can’t be bought back, no matter what our wealth.

Begin today by celebrating your health and making a promise to live a healthier life. There is no better gift that you can give to those you love than being healthy. Just as you care about their well being, they want you to be healthy, too. The extra time you spend exercising and preparing healthy meals will be an investment that will pay off for you and everyone you love.

Managing your weight is just one part of a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise and activity are a must for staying healthy. If you can, engage someone you love to join you for a bike ride or even a long walk. Make this a regular routine that you will both look forward to. Nothing relieves stress better than a half hour of exercise after a long day of work. It is so much better for you than sitting in front of the television hour after hour. Just get up every so often and exercise next to your chair, if you have to stay by the tube.

In addition to exercise and diet, I keep a fitness journal. I write down everything I eat and drink each day and all of the exercise and activities that I engage in. To keep me inspired and motivated to stick to my fitness program, I start each day by repeating affirmations that give my mind, body and soul the direction and encouragement to stay focused and attain the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

Below are 10 of my favorite affirmations that I use to help encourage my decision to live a healthy life.

1. I am changing my lifestyle to a healthy way of living.
2. My body responds to my thoughts.
3. Everything I eat nourishes my body.
4. I love to exercise.
5. I am physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually balanced and healthy.
6. I love and approve myself.
7. Every day, I feel stronger and healthier.
8. I am choosing progress over perfection.
9. I am responsible for my health.
10. I live a healthy lifestyle

Shape Up For Life With Positive Affirmations

By

Lose weight, stick to your diet, work out regularly, get fit, enrich relationships and stick to your budget. All of these things are possible when you arm yourself with positive affirmations.

I sincerely believe in the positive force that is created through repeated affirmations. I like to say mine first thing in the morning, before I start my day. These declarations provide the boost that I need to get out there and make something wonderful happen.

Of course, I will admit that there are many things that are out of my control. All sorts of incidents have occurred in my life of which I have had no say so whatsoever. But one thing has remained constant. My faith, my belief that God is in control and that He created me to be someone special. My positive affirmations reinforce this belief and keep me strong in the face of adversity.

The fitness goals that I set for myself are within my control. But that does not make them any easier. Because the goals I have are not easy to attain, I need the positive effects of affirmations to help me stay focused to succeed.

These same affirmations can help you reach your goals, too. Daily affirmations are easy to fit into your busy schedule. All you need is about 5 minutes and the benefits can last throughout the day. Set aside this small amount of time, preferably in the morning.

It’s best to repeat your affirmations in front of a mirror and look at your reflection as you say them. You must believe it to achieve it.

So, if your goal is to lose weight then you should repeat affirmations such as:

I am losing weight.
I am eating healthy foods.
I will not overeat today.
I will eat 3 servings of fruit today.
My clothes look better because I am losing weight.
I will eat 3 servings of vegetables today.
My body is my temple.
I feel sexy when I eat healthy foods.
I feel confident that I can lose all the weight that I want.

Sound simple enough? Affirmations are one of the easiest parts of dieting and getting in shape. Put it to the test, but remember: you must believe it to achieve it.

Start your day on a positive note, set yourself up for success at the beginning of each day. Just 5 minutes of daily affirmations can put the positive force you need in everything you do.

A Few Of My Favorite Affirmations

By

Affirmations are positive words of encouragement. For me, saying my affirmations helps me to begin my day on a completely positive, self -directive path. Afterwards, my mind is clearer, my stress levels are reduced and I feel completely rejuvenated and refreshed. My affirmations help me to deal with life’s day-to-day challenges.

Affirmations are the appetizer for the brain when it comes to a successful diet and fitness program. We all know the important role that the brain plays in most of the habits that come from overeating or eating the wrong foods. That’s why affirmations work so well in a women’s fitness program. When it comes to staying committed to your body, these daily declarations of victory can bring you closer to your fitness and weight loss goals.

When we set goals, we believe that we have the power to make these goals happen. Sometimes along the way we become uninspired and lose our motivation. If this sounds familiar, I urge you to try daily affirmations to lift you up. Affirmations are your personal motivator that you can call on every day to keep you focused on your goals. But first, you must love yourself and believe in the power of you.

Remember that affirmations should always be positive and without hesitation. Constant reminders of the goals that you want to achieve, your affirmations must be recited as a declaration of what you are doing and plan to do in the future. For instance, instead of saying, “I will get slimmer” use the words, “I am getting slimmer.” In the second affirmation the words “I am” indicate the action is already taking place, rather than a mere hope of something happening by chance.

It may take a little practice in the beginning but give affirmations a try. When I first started I couldn’t think of much to say, now I have so many it’s easy to say different ones each day. Below are 10 of my favorites to help you get started.

1. I enjoy eating healthy food.

2. I stop eating when I am satisfied.

3. I am stronger.

4. I will work out today.

5. Today I will run instead of walk.

6. I will lift an extra 5 pounds today.

7. I am getting thinner.

8. My tummy is getting flatter.

9. I feel confident and alive.

10. I am loved.
