To make things happen physically, we have to create them mentally first. Here is an example: I had a good friend who made it to the Olympic tryouts in the triple jump. The amazing thing about this is that she was only 5'5"! She shared with me how her coaches would have her sit in front of the track and visualize herself perfectly performing the event for a half hour at a time. By the time she was ready to practice or compete, she had already done the jumps perfectly 500 times in her mind, and then her body could follow suit. Mentally, are we seeing ourselves strengthening and succeeding, or are we beating ourselves up? This week your challenge is to control your thoughts as you exercise: see yourself feeling relaxed and strong. Cut out the complaint and noise and comparison from your mental dialog. Replace it with the truth that you are beautiful, capable and tough!
Why do workout clothes matter? In the book "Mindless Eating" the authors explain that people usually start a workout plan not when the scales tip, but when their clothes don't fit right. For example, inmates in jail tend to gain weight, despite the yucky food. Why? Because of their big jumpsuits! They had no way feel that their health was sliding. Are your workout clothes a jumpsuit? Are in you health prison? Modbe's fitness line finally gives us the option to look and feel sexy when we workout, and to workout hard because of the fine construction of the clothing. So tell your clients to ditch the grey sweat pants and T-shirt and set themselves free with the Modbe Move line. Also, when we make an investment in something we tend to stick with it more. Share with people that these top of the line athletic clothes will help them to commit to their health.
