Grab your fitness journal. If you don’t have one, get one. I use small spiral binder. You can go fancy and get a bound book or in a pinch use a fresh legal pad.
Date the entry and write the following question:
What 5 statements describe the exact feelings I would have if I were in my dream body today?
Start the statement in the present tense.
For example, "I am…"
After you’ve written them down I want you to put your statements on five individual index cards and put them next to your bed. Review them each night before you turn out the light and each morning before you get out of bed. Say them out loud.
Additionally, write them in a bold color on your working board (dry erase, etc.) or wherever you spend a large part of your day.
This simple action item will help reprogram your mental tape about what you think is possible. People stay stuck physically largely because of psychology. The mental limits – ‘Mind Garbage’ – we have impressed upon ourselves have tremendous power.
Whether you are a world class athlete or weekend warrior you have work to do. Make that mental power work for you.
