This week’s “Affirmation of the Week” is: “I exercise with passion.”
This one is good for people who are just getting started and don’t really feel all that great about their exercise routines. It’s easy to set unrealistic expectations for yourself, and when you’re out of shape, it can be easy to let yourself down. There’s nothing wrong with working your way up to a decent amount of exercise every day. Even if you start out with 10 minutes, you’re making progress. If you don’t feel like you did enough, it’s easy to get discouraged, even though you’re really on the right track.
Regardless of how much exercise you’re doing, it’s better than nothing at all. Saying this to yourself throughout your workout will encourage you to push yourself. As you keep going with your workouts, you’ll start to see a difference in how you think and feel about it.
I use this one when I’m exercising, every single time I exercise. It helps me move through the workout without really thinking about it too much, and it makes an incredible difference on days when I’m not feeling like working out. I always end up feeling better than I did before I started, and never regretting the fact that I worked out. It’s so much better than the guilt I feel when I skip one!
Exercising with passion, to me, means working out with purpose. You’re not doing it just to move, you’re doing it to sweat. You’re doing it to cleanse yourself and take care of your body. You’re doing it because you want to lose weight and get in better shape! You’re doing it to challenge yourself and do better than the last time.
