Adopt An I Can Attitude

By

Positive people have an “I Can” attitude. They don’t fear challenges and they don’t allow defeat, at least not before they have a chance to compete. Positive people believe they can and they are right. They set goals because they are committed to working towards those goals. They make plans to succeed and they focus on executing those plans. They remain positive no matter how hard they struggle. They believe in themselves and their abilities.

Having an “I Can” attitude doesn’t mean a person has to be pompous or overly proud. When you have a positive attitude you want to get things done. You truly believe that your goals are attainable and that with enough practice and focus, you can overcome even the most difficult challenges.

Power-up each day with positive energy. If you have ever been chained down by the ill-effects of negativity you know how it can suck the life out of you. If you think you can’t win, then it is almost impossible to succeed. On the contrary, adopting a positive attitude will keep you always believing that success is possible and you can make it happen.

Keeping a fitness journal will help to instill a positive attitude and make it easier for you to succeed in your weight loss and fitness goals. Writing down everything you eat and drink and all of the exercise you do will help you to see what is working for you and what is not. Journaling keeps you accountable and gives you written proof that you can accomplish what you set out to do.

Replacing a negative attitude of “I Can’t” with a positive attitude of “I Can” will improve your chances of success. Maintaining a positive attitude lowers blood pressure, and improves overall health. It also makes those around you much happier, too. Studies indicate that positive people encourage others and keep them motivated even when hope is in short supply.

Start each day with positive affirmations. These powerful words and phrases will guide your mind and your body. Embrace the words and their meanings as you repeat them to yourself each day. Affirmations are evidence of an “I Can” attitude.

Adopt an “I Can” attitude and believe in yourself. This powerful outlook will help you to succeed all throughout life. There will always be challenges and disappointments but your positive attitude will always see you through.

I take time every day for positive affirmations. Usually in the morning, but all throughout the day as needed, I repeat the messages I want my brain to follow. It instills the love and appreciation I have for my body and my life. Just as I support my closest friends with words of encouragement, I give my body and my life that same respect.

Love To Exercise And It Shows

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.

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.

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.
