WE ATTACH actions and processes to thoughts and feelings through our behavior patterns.

The good news is that those can be re-programmed!

I had a client tell me she almost started crying during a workout the other day because she was frustrated and it was hardโ€ฆbut she kept going.

I told her I have cried through tons of workouts at this point for various reasons.

Crying doesnโ€™t mean you canโ€™t physically keep going and the more you let your brain know that just because you cry doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re going to stop – the easier that will be.

So cry. Be pissed, be frustrated, be sad – BUT DO IT ANYWAY.

Your mind gets in the way of a lot of things you want and even NEED.

But it can be retrained.

This is what discipline is.

Not listening to that voice in your head that says
โ€œItโ€™s been a stressful day – you deserve to watch TV instead of workoutโ€

When in reality – YOU DESERVE TO FEEL YOUR BEST and thatโ€™s not going to happen if you plop on the couch, watch TV and eat potato chips.

Self awareness is a tricky thing.

Being aware of your thought patterns & following patterns is the first step – having the discipline for LONG ENOUGH to make it a NEW PERMANENT HABIT is the next and hardest step.

So what can you do?

โœ…Write it down – when you find yourself repeating a behavior or pattern based on a thought process, literally make a note of it.

โœ…Write down what youโ€™re going to do INSTEAD. Maybe to start itโ€™s simply a phrase you repeat to yourself outlaid. โ€œMY THOUGHTS DO NOT DETERMINE MY ACTIONS, AND I WILL DO WHAT I KNOW IS BEST FOR ME DESPITE THEM.โ€

โœ…Pick a SPECIFIC action you will take immediately after that to further combat the thought.

Example: waking up early to workout
Thought: I didnโ€™t sleep much last night, Iโ€™ll workout tomorrow. (Repeatedly)
Action: REPEAT ABOVE PHRASE THEN GTF OUT OF BED!

What habits do you struggle to solidify and what do you tell yourself?
