Jogging with Positive Affirmations
There are few areas more in need of positive affirmations than the exercise arena.
If the majority of us were honest, we would say that on a scale of one
to ten, the natural desire to exercise would be at a negative 80. Yet,
if we were equally as honest, we would have to admit that after we
engage in exercise of any form, we feel awesome and invigorated; and,
for that brief post-exercise moment, the same scale would jump to a
positive 80.
So why is it that our exercise resolutions wax and wane on a constant
basis? The most basic reason is that we have been bombarded with
negative affirmations of how hard and “non-fun” exercise is, and that
we have to endure it for the positive effects that we will gain in our
health and well-being.
Endorphins are physically produced during strenuous exercise and cause
you to feel an incredible sense of well-being. Yet, even with this
invigorated feeling, it still hasn’t changed people’s exercise habits!
If there were an ability to remember the refreshing and amazing
feelings of well-being that are experienced after exercise, we’d all be
going to the gym every day. That is where positive exercise
affirmations will be your most supportive workout partner. By correctly
utilizing these positive exercise affirmations on a daily basis, you
will exercise with enjoyable conviction.
Setting Real, Achievable Exercise Goals
To begin with, it is necessary to define the goals that you wish to
achieve before you begin, ensuring your success is based on realistic
and achievable milestones. Next, you need to realize that positive
exercise affirmations, just like any positive affirmations, need to be
tailored to who you are in order for them to be successful. In other
words, an individual who puts on their t-shirt, shorts and sneakers and
hits the pavement to run for an hour needs to understand their own
needs, otherwise negative affirmations will swirl through their body
and mind, such as: “My legs hurt! I can’t breathe! I can’t do this! Am
I there yet?” Negative exercise affirmations can cause your mind to
find any excuse to stop altogether.
On the other hand, the individual who puts on a wet suit and water
shoes, then grabs a paddle and kayak and hits the river for two hours
repeating to himself: “I love the peace and quiet of the river. I enjoy
the rhythm of each stroke through the water. I can hear my heart and
lungs in happy rhythm together as they get stronger!” These are
positive exercise affirmations and this same individual will find other
forms of “exercise” to fulfill their life.
