way you talk to yourself.  Reaching your desired



level of physical fitness is only limited by the degree

to which you're mentally and emotionally fit.  When

you feed your conscious mind with positive messages

such as “I feel happy! I feel healthy! I feel terrific!"

you are activating your subconscious mind to go to

work at bringing about positive results in your physical

Here are 3 mental tools that you can use to bring about

positive changes in your physical life and increase

your level of fitness:

1. Think about it – The law of attraction states that

“you are a living magnet, you will inevitably attract

into your life the people, ideas, circumstances and

resources that are in harmony with your dominant

thoughts."  This simply means that what you think

about and believe with conviction will inevitably

manifest itself in your life.  You get what you think

2. Talk about it – The law of affirmation states that

“if you tell yourself in positive, personal, present

tense statements that you are or have the thing

you desire, that very thing will move closer to you." 

Remember, you control what is planted in your garden. 

You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds, but if

you don't deliberately plant flowers your garden will

fill up with weeds by default.

3. Act it – Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Do the thing

and you will have the power."  What this means for

and I is that we can act our way towards better fitness. 

If you simply resolve to pretend that you are an actress

trying out for the role of a happy, healthy character

everyday you will soon notice that you are becoming

more and more like the person you wish to be.  Fake

it until you make it.

Your outer life is a mirror reflection of your inner life. 

The better you feel mentally and emotionally the better

you will look and feel physically.  Start thinking fit and

soon you will be just that!
