Climbing on a tough road to reach a version of you in a healthier body? You feel that it’s hard and even though your efforts are paying off, your mind is slowing down and your motivation seem to fade away as the hill is getting steeper? What if instead of focusing on how you can climb faster, you could focus on how you can make the hill go flat, and then disappear?

Make a clear improved picture of yourself in your head. What do you want to look like? What daily behaviours would you like to become easy and natural? Wow long do you want to be able to carry your kid or grandson in your arms before starting to have a back ache? Or what about not even have the backache? What size clothes do you want to be? How great do you want to feel. What do you want to hear from people when they notice the change you are working so hard to accomplish? What do you want to see in the mirror in three months?

Changing the way you think about yourself is key in order to get over the hump and start going downhill, freely, easily towards your goal. If you are a size 14, tell yourself you are a size 10. Get rid of the fat clothes that you have been saving just in case you gained weight, you are no longer going to go back there. The yoyo-ing is over! Stick with the new you. Improved and focused. Stick with your new habits and aim for constant curiosity about how you could get even better. Develop a learning mindset and keep on the path to a healthy lifestyle.
