Exercise Affirmations
Just as sick thoughts result in a sick body, so do healthy thoughts result in a healthy body. If you are going to participate in a marathon, then thoughts like "Oh my, what 1. "I can do it." 2. "Every passing second, the distance is becoming smaller and smaller." 3. "My stamina goes on increasing with every step that I take." If you are into body building, then it helps to concentrate on one body part as you exercise it. The affirmations given below will make my point clear. 1. "Every day my biceps are growing bigger and bigger." 2. "With every sit up (or crunch or whichever exercise that you are doing) my abs are getting sharper and sharper." 3. "With every press my shoulders are getting more and more muscular." 4. "Every day in every way my body is becoming more and more muscular." You can devise your own affirmations on similar lines for specific body parts. If you are a tennis player, then following affirmations may help: 1. "I have a perfect backhand shot and I hit it with ease." 2. "I have a very strong serve and I place it where I wish to." 3. "Return of serve is my strong point and I place the ball wherever I wish." 4. "My lobs are perfect and I always score points of them." If you follow a general fitness routine, then the following affirmations can be of help: 1. "Every day in every way I am becoming fitter and healthier." 2. "I enjoy my daily workouts and they make me feel energetic." 3. "My metabolism has improved as a result of my exercises and I am leaner and fitter." 4. My daily exercises make me stronger and fitter." Combine two or more of these exercise affirmations as per your need and repeat them in your mind as you do your workout. Also, try to visualize the end result that you desire with your workout. The combination of affirmations and visualization is very very potent.
