Hello everyone…I was just having an awesome discussion with a client of mine and decided I really needed to bring this topic up. Did you know that each and every day 95% of our thoughts are exactly THE SAME as the thoughts we had yesterday? This means that we are unconsciously repeating those same problems or concerns day after day after day! Does this sound like insanity to you? It does to me too, but when I first heard these words I suddenly realized that I too was a victim of this.

Therefore, we really need to make a CONSCiOUS effort to think about NEW IDEAS and/or SOLUTIONS to our present situation. For those you who don’t know, I am a Personal Fitness Trainer. In this new career, I am discovering that the majority of people are stuck in their personal past. They are seeking to become more fit and healthy, yet their beliefs and limitations are based on what family/friends/teachers had made them believe in their past.

It’s amazing as they begin to talk that they have not realized that all they have to do is ‘flick a switch‘ and look in that mirror in the morning and mentally acknowledge that NO ONE can tell them what to believe. We are totally in control of the beliefs we have now. As a child, you are shaped by what your caregivers believe. You too, will internalize this kind of upbringing. However, as an adult person who is going for a fit lifestyle…you really need to address these issues and limiting beliefs! Challenge them. My client has to list all of the remarks that were made to her in her past and then question them. This activity will begin to empower you to realize that YOU ARE NOW IN CONTROL OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE! You may have been told that you will always be overweight because of poor genetics. You may have internalized that you cannot wear a bikini because you need to look like a supermodel to wear one. What?!

Remember when you look in the mirror next time that you can feed yourself empowering messages or you can limit yourself for the rest of your life…it’s totally up to you.

What will you choose?

Cheers to health,

Angie
