Why are you trying to lose weight or get in shape? Is it because you hate a certain body part or even your entire reflection in the mirror? As difficult a lesson this is to learn, you must first accept your body – with all of its quirks and inconveniences – before you can change your body.
Take a moment to reflect upon your feelings about your body. Often when I ask my clients to do this, a whole slew of negative thoughts crosses their minds. Such nasty thoughts can unravel your best intentions. They erode your self-confidence and motivation to succeed.
You must get past those thoughts to experience true, lasting results. How? One of my clients developed what I now call the “oops technique.” Whenever you find yourself thinking something bad about yourself just say “oops” out loud. It may sound silly, but it’s a great reminder to stop negative thoughts in their tracks and return to positive thinking. Remember, your body is a precious gift!
Your coach,
Jorge Cruise
