MOTIVATION

Self-Support: 
Have you been working on your inner support system?
Have you made your I am statements and written them down?
Have you made and do you say your mantra daily?
Do you have any idea what I am talking about?

If you are clueless, then you need to refresh your memory with these podcast episodes:

* Fit 210: Injuries, Weight Loss Scams, Support Yourself 
* Fit 162: Mantra, Reps and Nutrition Truths 
* Fit 166: Glute Training Part 2, Protein Myths "I am" Statements
* Fit 196: Eliminate Bad Habits, Thin vs Lean and Abdominals  

In the Mindset Makeover Book, Chapter 5 discusses how to Harness Your Inner Power.  You do this by being your best supporter! Knocking down negative thoughts and replacing them with positive, present tense statements (the "I am statements").  There are too many other techniques shared in the Mindset Makeover Book to go into all the details here, but suffice to say that every day you have a choice!

Choose to support yourself!
Make the choice to be your own best friend. When you get down or frustrated, tell yourself, "What would I say to my best friend if this was his/her problem, situation or thoughts?" Using this drill puts matters into perspective and empowers you to find solutions to stay on track.

With every event that happens in your life, comes the opportunity to determine its meaning and to learn a new lesson that will empower you for the future. Use life’s challenges in ways that will strengthen you, not make you weak. The choice is yours.

You possess the strength to pick yourself up when you are low, brush yourself off and rekindle your drive, focus and motivation! Be your biggest supporter and personal cheerleader! You have the power inside of you to be your biggest advocate! You only have to learn how to use it!
