Mind and body motivation
Don't let your good intentions fall by the wayside. Take control of your mind and your bikini body will follow
No time, no money, too tired, I'll do it tomorrow...sound familiar?
Even with the sound of summer whispering in your ear it's easy to put off getting into shape. The hectic lifestyles that we all lead provide many opportunities for excuses and sometimes it can all seem a bit too much like hard work. Do not fear, with my motivational tips you can avoid sabotaging your body.
Getting started
This is often the hardest part of any change so start with a small step. Walk home from work today, take the stairs when you go out to get your lunch. In the words of Moloko (although I suspect that somebody else said it earlier) 'The Time is Now!'
The best laid plans...
Normally a plan to get in shape might go something along the lines of:
Monday - gym
Tuesday - gym
Wednesday - gym
Thursday - gym...until you fall of your road to perfection due to extreme boredom.
This is not the kind of plan I recommend. If you view plan-making as some kind of military operation that must be followed to the letter, the idea becomes extremely unappealing. In addition to this many of us think that straying from our intended plan means game over, and so it's back to the biscuits and TV.
