Hello Friends!
Ok, time for a little rah rah. We are now into the busiest season of the year (for most of us!) Celebrations, shopping, lot's of tempting treats that find their way into our diets. IMO the most imporatant way to stay on track both physically and mentally when you're overwhelmed is to cut yourself some serious slack, and that starts with the little voice in your head.
The way you talk to yourself, when your mouth isn't moving, has a big impact on your mood, the way you treat others and the choices you make about food and exercise.
None of us can get behind each other's eyes. How I see the world is not how you see it, and vice versa...but we can all do the same thing to give ourselves a fighting chance at having a 'good' day! Keep your 'self talk' positive. Starting right now, take notice of what runs through your mind when you look in the mirror, or make a mistake...chances are it's not how you would talk to a good friend, right?
Let's make a pact...with ourselves...postive, uplifting words only (90% of the time--we're not perfect...yet!!)
Let's practice!
"I look fat." BECOMES "I'm going to make better food choices today."
"Nothing good ever happens to me." BECOMES "I'm going to do something nice for someone today."
"There aren't enough hours in the day." BECOMES "I'm going to get organized and focus on what's most important."
With a little time, conscious correction and concerted effort, your 'self talk' can flow in a more positive direction...and then everything else will follow right along behind!
