It’s really us against ourselves most of the time … we often try to motivate ourselves with fear, judgment, and criticism. But how does using fear as motivation work out for us? 

I know when I was on my weight loss journey,

before I shifted from self criticism to self compassion, 

a lot of what I experienced as my “reality” was in fact what I chose to think about it.

and the simplicity of that frustrated me.

because I had to accept that, literally, the one thing keeping me from the freedom and happiness I have now were my thoughts. 

here I was trying to build a booty, and I needed to be building my BRAIN. 

wherever you are in your journey, if you’re struggling with confidence and motivation around your wellness goals, 

I challenge you to journal on some of these affirmations over the next few weeks, and share with a loved one who may appreciate as well. 

which one(s) resonate with you?

I’m grateful for sticking to all of my healthy habits. 

I’m connected with my body and I love to keep it healthy. 

My positive attitude helps me be healthy. 

I’m physically and mentally healthy, and I’m grateful for that.

I have lots of resources available to help me make these changes.

I am surrounded by positive people who believe in me.
