This is probably nothing you haven't heard before, but really if you can really adopt these secrets this year, you just might be able to change for good!
10 Secrets to a Fit Lifestyle!
1. Act as if you are Fit! Start to live as if you were fit. Act fit, eat like you are fit, talk like you are fit, dress like you are fit! The mind-body connection is more powerful than you think.
2. Get out of your comfort zone! To prompt your body to change, you have to make it do what it is not used to. If it seems easy and comfortable, you’re not going to transform your body!
3. Fuel your body for success. Eat more often, not less. CATABOLIC: A scientific term for the state your body goes into when you don’t fuel it every couple hours and it starts to break down hard-earned muscle tissue. Fuel with unprocessed whole foods every couple hours.
4. Make R & R a priority. Finish each day with something relaxing such as stretching, reading, writing in your journal, taking a bath. Take time each day to do something for yourself. Get at least 6-8 hours of sleep to aid in your recovery and results.
5. Obstacles will arise—anticipate them! Everyone has obstacles. Successful people see obstacles as challenges and they overcome them. Tell yourself you will stay focused and on track. No excuses. Plan ahead and have strategies for these obstacles.
6. Keep a journal or a blog. Write down your goals and keep them where you will see them every day. I started my blog as a way to stay motivated and to give support to other busy moms. Fill your journal or blog with motivational sayings, pictures or anything to keep you focused.
7. Surround yourself with supportive people! When someone is doing something to become more successful, whether it is an exercise program or eating healthy, other people try to drag that person back to their level and keep them from being successful. We all know them! Surround yourself with those who will support and motivate you to be better!
8. Think about your thoughts. Eliminate any negative and poisonous thoughts and people from your life! Everyone loves a positive person. Think positively about yourself and others.
9. Manage your stress! Stress piles up and can wreak havoc on your health, vitality, and progress. When you are under stress your body produces cortisol. Cortisol tells your body its in panic mode and is also linked to belly fat! Take time out to reduce your stress!
10. Stop Making Excuses! I don’t have time, It’s in my genes, work is hectic, It’s my time of the month, I’m too tired, I’m stressed, My kids come first…. You will never have enough time! If you don’t have time in your life now, then you’d better make time in your life later to regret not getting healthy.
“Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.” –M. Scott Peck
