The difference between where you are and where you want to be is how you think. You are the only one stopping yourself or allowing yourself to go further than you did the day before. If you want to succeed you must let go of limiting beliefs, people and unhealthy habits. You have the power to choose your thoughts. Your success depends on your state of mind.

Start your day with positive affirmations to lift you up and strengthen your will. Be confident in your abilities and realize that you are closer to your goal than you were yesterday. With each affirmation, build yourself up in body, mind and soul.

Words are powerful. The sound of a positive word can illuminate your path. Be mindful of the words that you say and those that you keep close to your heart.

Fulfill your affirmations with healthy goal setting techniques that will build a positive self-image and keep you focused on your target for the day. Goal setting helps you to imagine your ideal future and focus on turning your vision into a reality. When you set goals, you enrich your imagination and energize your ability to succeed. Goal setting and affirmations go hand-in-hand to bring about your desires for positive changes and growth in your life.

Write down your goals and set a realistic timeline for success. By writing your goals, you make a binding contract with your mind, body and soul to make these goals a reality. With each goal you write, consider how much that goal has changed from day to day. What might have seemed impossible yesterday; becomes much more probable today.

Many times we are reluctant to set goals because we feel it sets us up for failure. That doesn’t have to be true. If you have trouble setting goals, start out by setting short term goals. You will be able to see the results much quicker with short term goals and you can give yourself the encouragement you need to keep working and improving every day. You have the courage to take the next step and become who you want to be.

Don’t procrastinate, don’t put off doing what you know in your heart is the right thing for you. Investing time in your health and fitness will pay off now and in the future. Take control of your life and concentrate on your happiness. Live your life healthy, happy and in harmony.
