Start your day off with affirmations and you will discover the empowerment of words. Positive words of encouragement and strength, affirmations are a way of speaking to your own mind, heart and soul. You declare something such as a fitness goal, but speak as though you have already attained that goal, thereby empowering the mind to conquer the task.

Affirmations can enhance every aspect of your life. Your relationships, your job performance and your fitness goals are all prime targets for positive affirmations. That’s because these are the most important areas of our lives and we constantly seek ways to improve them.

If at all possible, set aside some time each morning to repeat your affirmations for the day. You may have one or two that you repeat each day, or you may concentrate on a different area of your life each day. The important thing is that you give your full attention and believe the words that you say.

Affirmations that are repeated without meaning, will soon become empty words that render little results. It is better to say a few meaningful words than to recite a speech that has lost its heart and soul.

For instance you might declare that you are losing weight. Another affirmation would be to say, “I am exercising for 30 minutes today.” If you will repeat the latter every day for a week, you will find that your mind pulls you toward completing that goal. You will begin to feel like exercising and that it is a part of your everyday life.

Affirmations work for other areas of your life too. Affirmations can be used to improve your relationships and the manner in which you deal with different situations. Give them a try for at least a week and see the successful results. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain, including a thinner, more youthful looking you. Empower your beauty with the power of words.

Affirmations are one way to position yourself for women’s fitness success. Repeating daily affirmations will actually coax your brain into a conspiracy to do what you command. By using affirmations as part of your tools for fitness you will find that it is one of the easier ways to get your body and mind in shape.

If you have never used affirmations before, I encourage you to give them a try for at least a week. Repeating phrases to yourself, preferably in front of a mirror is the best way to get the most out of your affirmations. They don’t have to be long, but they must be sincere. You must first believe that it is within your power to bring these commands to fruition.

One example would be to state that you will exercise for 30 minutes each day. Repeat this affirmation every day for one week. It’s a no-brainer, because you know that you can certainly fulfill that affirmation, but even if you feel too tired, you need only to call that affirmation up and realize that it is a command to yourself that you need to make happen.

Once you state the affirmation, it is as if you have given a job command to someone who works for you, you should expect it to get done. It is an order, not something that gets done if there is time, but an actual command and you should expect results.

I like to say my affirmations each morning before I go out to begin my day. It’s a great way to start the day and helps to focus my mind on what I want to accomplish. Affirmations are also instrumental before retiring to bed, as it helps to feed the brain and allow it to sleep on the goals that you have set before it. You may want to experiment saying affirmations in the morning one week and the next week saying them before bedtime, or just when the sun is setting, which for some people can be a time for reflection.

If you really want to make goal setting and achievement work for you, consider daily affirmations to set your mind in action. If you have ever used visualization techniques then you already know how much power your mind can have over your actions. Affirmations work the same way, they are powerful words that give precise instructions to your mind.

Once your mind has been instructed of your goal, it will perform as if you have already conquered that goal. However, what you say must be sincere. You must believe that you can achieve it in order to bring it to reality. Thus my motto, believe it to achieve it.

Starting your day off with affirmations tells your brain that you really want this goal and you whole-heartedly believe that it is possible to accomplish it. There should be no signs of doubt that you can indeed make it happen. Repeating the same affirmation each day, readdresses the need, but may lead to boredom and complacency. Each night, choose your daily affirmation and make a decision on how you want to say your affirmations.

Many people find it helpful to say their affirmations in front of a mirror. This way they can look themselves straight in the eye and without hesitation or disbelief repeat their affirmations. Others like to repeat their affirmations during their morning prayer or meditation. Just choose a time that works best for you.

Affirmations can work for nearly any area of your life. I find it extremely helpful for weight loss and taking my fitness program to the next level. Not only is it instrumental in my exercise program, it keeps me on faithful to my diet and keeps me from falling to temptation.

Daily affirmations don’t need to be long winded. Usually a few words or a sentence is perfect for setting the mind in motion and putting your goal on the fast track to success.

Taking control over your life can begin with daily affirmations. These powerful phrases that you repeat to yourself every morning can be the commands that you mind is waiting for.

Repeating your daily affirmations helps to supercharge your mind to follow whatever you tell it. By doing this everyday at approximately the same time each day will soon become a habit that your mind, body and spirit will crave. Use this time for positive thoughts, pushing out any negativity that tries to invade this process.

When you decide to make women’s fitness a priority in your life, you begin to examine your diet and exercise regimen. Certainly there are changes that you will want to make in order to get in your best shape. Affirmations are one of the secret skills that you will learn at Fitness4Her that will help you achieve the body that you desire.

Affirmations allow you to take control over your eating habits and keep you motivated to not only stick to an exercise program, but to excel in your fitness goals. Your mind will actually listen to and feed off these daily commands and you will soon see the results of your efforts.

Remember that affirmations must be repeated with all sincerity. You must actually believe what you say. You see, if you don’t believe it, then it never will happen. Without your trust and belief, they are just empty words that fall on deaf ears. In other words, it is your strong belief that gives these affirmations the power to change your life. You must believe it in order to achieve it.

So if you believe in what you say, and you repeat these affirmations daily, you will convince your mind that this thing is possible. If you tell yourself that you will eat healthy and you repeat it daily, you will begin to make changes in the way that you eat. When you go against your affirmations it is much like going against your sub conscious. Your brain will send impulses to remind you of your affirmations. At that time, it is looking for some validation as to why you aren’t following your own commands.

Taking control of your life with affirmations is easy to do. First you decide what you want to change, then decide on the affirmations that you will choose to repeat. Without fail, stand in front of a mirror and repeat these affirmations to yourself, daily. For best results, at the end of the day write down how well you followed the affirmations. This will help to seal the deal and give you the control you need to make fitness a priority in your life.

Daily affirmations are a wonderful way to start the day and get you geared for fitness. Before leaving your home or beginning your regular schedule, take some time out to repeat your daily affirmations. This helps to set your mind on course before it gets bombarded with hundreds of other commands, complaints and other responsibilities common in everyday life.

Affirmations are a gift that you give to your psyche to boost its power and bring your dreams to reality. Instead of internalizing your goals, write them down on paper and repeat them to yourself. Then turn the goal into affirmations to command your mind to take action. You may be surprised at how well this works, especially if your goal is to get physically fit.

Women’s fitness is my goal for life. I believe a healthy body is the foundation for everything I want to do in life. I feel great and I want to look great too.
