What if doing something you dread could really be fun and pleasurable? What would happen if you did not have a lot of fear, anxiety and trepidation?<\/p>\n
If you simply don’t believe the old mental programming that losing weight, becoming healthier, and making some positive changes in your life is a drag – then it can actually BE fun and pleasurable. It’s just that easy: CHOOSE TO BELIEVE SOMETHING NEW.<\/p>\n
Begin to believe that being healthy is a pleasure, because it honestly is. It’s not about depriving you or causing you pain and suffering. Eating healthy foods is truthfully really wonderful.<\/p>\n
Here’s how: the next time you catch yourself thinking the worst, just turn it around and give it to God (or Higher Power). Here’s a list of possibilities:<\/p>\n
I can’t do this >> I can do it with God’s help.
I’ll be too hungry >> I’ll feed myself regularly and healthfully.
I cannot have dessert >> I can have a healthy dessert.
I’m tired >> I’ll get more energy with healthy habits & give myself rest.
This is torture >> This is an act of self-love and care.
Gyms are hellish >> Gyms are temples of health and happiness.
Goodbye good food >> Hello great, better food.
I don’t have time for changes >> I’m making myself a priority.<\/p>\n
Let’s add to this list together. Please post a comment about how you’re changing your old destructive beliefs into new, active, loving careful beliefs.<\/p>\n
