If you’re getting started with the weight
loss journey, one thing that you should check and get into place before you
begin is your attitude. Many people take the time to set themselves up on a
sound diet plan and make sure that they have their workouts entirely figured
out, but then completely overlook where their mind’s at.
If you aren’t in the right mind state, this
will definitely transfer over to the results that you see.
So how can you shift your thinking from
where it is now to where it needs to be? Let’s look at some important points to
remember about making sure you maintain a proper attitude.
Assess
Your Self-Statements
The very first step to adjusting your
attitude is to take a closer look at the self-statements that you’re saying to
yourself. This includes the little
things that you say throughout the day that impact the way that you feel about
your progress.
For instance, if you eat something you
shouldn’t at lunch, do you instantly start berating yourself, saying that
you’ll never be able to achieve success because of this one minor bump in the
road?
If so, you’re setting yourself up to fail.
Many people are not even fully aware of the negative self-statements they’re
using on themselves so awareness is your first step.
Spend a few days simply listening to those
voices so that you can get a clearer picture of what they are saying.
Clear
Away Any Limiting Beliefs
Second, you need to clear away any limiting
beliefs. This could be a belief that you
are just not capable of sticking with a diet or that you can’t give full effort
in your workouts because you’re just not athletic enough.
Ask yourself what proof you have to confirm
these statements. Are there any solid
facts that back up these beliefs?
If you take some time and really assess how
you came to believe these things, you may just see that your reasons are not at
all based around realty.
This simple realization on its own can work
wonders for improving your self-beliefs.
Formulate
A List Of Self-Affirmations
Finally, the last step to improve your
attitude is to formulate a list of self-affirmations. This is where you come up with a list that
states positive things about yourself and your abilities. This could expand outwards to your career,
personal life, or any other areas that you feel you excel at.
The main point of this list is to get you
feeling good. You want to prove to
yourself that you are capable of achieving success if you put your mind to it.
This positive frame of mind will then
transfer over to mean a higher effort given on your part throughout your
workouts, which then yields better results.
