Change the Way You Think About Exercise
Change your current associations to exercise (for example, that exercise =
pain or discomfort) to a positive. Focus on the pleasurable results you will
get by exercising regularly and choosing healthier eating options.
How do we do that?
By getting enough leverage to change.
You need to come up with enough reasons why you must change and you
must change now to tip the scales the other way.
Whatever ‘reasons’ you have now for not exercising need to be seen for what they really are – excuses.
What about your loved ones?
Do you want to see your children grow?
Do you want to live a long and healthy life?
Do you want to burden them if in fact you do get sick?
Do you want to be a burden on the health system?
You have got to interrupt your current negative pattern of association to
exercise and healthier eating.One of the ways I have taught people in the past is to take a picture of yourself naked and place it where you can see it!
YES, that’s right!
If you cannot face looking at your self in the mirror, put a
picture where you can see it every day so it will scare you into
action!
WARNING – take it down when you have friends over, or you may never see
them again.
Place reminders everywhere. Hang them in the car, on the mirror, fridge,
computer, in the toilet (door not bowl).
You may use my trademark saying
Excuses Change Nothing. Exercise Will!
