Success on the scales, what does it take? Well, we know it’s mostly what you eat, followed up by how much exercise you do to burn those calories. But is there more to it?
Yes!
It’s your mind-set too. Getting your head right will not only help you move past pesky plateaus, it will make your weight loss journey more enjoyable.
Here’s our Top 5 tips to freshen up your mind. Positive attitude here we come!
Declutter your mental space
Are there any negative things you regularly tell yourself? If the answers yes, these are literally weighing you down. Are these thoughts facts or just something you believe to be true?
To stop negative thoughts gaining momentum, cancel them out with positive facts about yourself! Like, what you’re grateful for in your life. And who made that happen? You!Set realistic goals
Goals give our mind something to focus on when the negative self-talk tries to take over. But here’s the trick, you need to make your goals realistically achievable.
Not sure what to go for? Think about what truly matters to you. Then break it down into smaller steps – that’s your goals, right there!
Make more time for “radiator” relationships
Radiators give you energy, drainers take it away. The same goes for relationships.
In order to spend more time with those that lift you up, the word “no” could become your best friend. Guard that date in the diary like a designer handbag found in a bargain bin.Get more sleep
Sometimes a good eight hours of slumber is as powerful as a personal trainer session – and kinder to your budget too.
Getting rest is important for maintaining a healthy perspective on life. A tired mind is a lazy mind that can easily fall back on negative thoughts and habits.
Step into the uncomfortable zone
We’re always saying shake things up, and it’s true. But it doesn’t always have to be a Lady Shake to feel awesome. Try learning something new.
Putting yourself in a new situation or taking up a new hobby is how you can discover something exciting about yourself.
