Let’s play a game. I want you to read through thought process 1 then thought process 2. See if you can notice your experience by just simply shifting a few words.
THOUGHT PROCESS #1
I WILL FEEL BETTER WHEN…
I have extra motivation to focus on my health.
I make progress.
I am committed to taking care of my body.
I stop setting unrealistic goals.
I stop trying to do too much all at once.
I can maintain my results.
I am no longer confused on what to eat and how to work out.
I can be an intuitive eater.
I understand my unique hunger cues so I can honor them appropriately.
I can process emotions.
Exercise is a joy - not a drag.
I can recognize how perfectionism is showing up and how it is holding me back.
THOUGHT PROCESS #2
I FEEL BETTER BECAUSE…
I have extra motivation to focus on my health.
I am making progress.
I am committed to taking care of my body.
I stop setting unrealistic goals.
I stop trying to do too much all at once.
I can maintain my results.
I am no longer confused on what to eat and how to work out.
I can be an intuitive eater.
I understand my unique hunger cues so I can honor them appropriately.
I can process emotions.
Exercise is a joy - not a drag.
I can recognize how perfectionism is showing up and how it is holding me back.
It’s a simple shift, but it will change everything. It is a great idea to notice the language that we are using with ourselves all of the time. Thought process #1 takes away our power… Thought process #2 allows us to own our power. Notice where you can shift a word or 2 to create a totally different experience.
