Have you ever heard the sayingโฆ
โThe body follows the mindโ?
Well it is very true, every day we have an internal voice, a conversation in our own mind telling us โstoriesโ that arenโt necessarily true at all.
Now this could turn into a very long post but Iโll keep it short and to the pointโฆ
At FitBody Milton Keynes we have a sayingโฆ
โPositive affirmations ONLYโ
You see, when you are exercising and giving everything you have an inner voice that will kick it.
Often this inner voice will be your ENEMY!
โThis is too hardโ
โI canโt do itโ
โI didnโt sleep well so Iโll just take it easyโ
Itโs your mind trying to move you away from PAIN or DISCOMFORT.
Now sometimes this can be good! Like if you are doing something dangerous or that could cause injury etc.
BUT, most often itโs helping you justify taking the EASY way out.
Just this morning at our 6am session I could see the cogs turning and those inner voices doing their thing on several people, making them give up half way through a set and rest or stop for a toilet breakโฆ
So, in true FitBody fashion I started explaining how POSITIVE affirmations can work in the OPPOSITE way!
โI can do thisโ
โI will do thisโ
โIโm a badass, working on a goodassโ
After a couple of minutes the difference was OBVIOUS, people pushing outside of their comfort zones, building their confidence, improving their effort levels.
I WAS SO PROUD OF EVERYONEโฆ
Now imagine how much an effect this โshiftโ in mindset will have over the weeks, months, and years on their RESULTS!
Instead of giving up with 10 seconds to go and collapsing. They pushed on past the point they thought they could, the increased fitness, fat-loss and strength this will equal over time will make them Bad asses with Good asses for sure
So remember to โhave a wordโ with that inner voice next time it starts telling you that you canโt do something
Speak soon
