How powerful is what you believe? Simple. It drives everything in your life.
Therefore, guard your thoughts
In work, family, personal relationships and everything we do ... your attitude is everything. If you have a great attitude, it has a positive impact on the moment and your experiences. If you have a negative attitude, then tendencies are for things to not flow well. Negative attitudes grow negative experience. All our life experiences are impacted by our positive or negative perceptions ... our beliefs and simply our attitude of the moment.
Exercise is no different in regards to how your belief impacts your experience. This is the tough battle right? Those mornings when you may question your abilities. Those moments when you experience a workout that devastates the mind and body. Those glances to the 'white board' and knowing it is going to take your heart. In all these cases, what you believe about yourself, about your experience and about the future (yes, the White Board) is going to directly impact your attitude and performance.

For me, my belief, my attitude ... directly impacts my progression in Health & Fitness. Not only Health & Fitness, pretty much everything I do. The importance of our belief in ourselves is so central to what drives our lives. So why not make it positive? When my attitude sucks toward a movement, then I perform poorly and feel the laziness in my movement. If it is a movement I am actually good at and like, then I rock it and look awesome doing it.
What You Believe is What You Have in Your Life
None of use are perfect. We all strive to find the balance in all we do. Sometimes we are up, sometimes we are down. This effort for balance transcends in all things. It takes effort. Plain and simple there is no magic solution to getting fit. Be aware of your approach to the sculpting of mind and body. Does it have to be negative? NO! Why not also put equal effort to grow positive beliefs. Isn't there enough negativity in the world already? The Power of Belief is huge and based on your attitude, it will take you to a higher level or drag you to the depths. I remind myself to be careful how I approach workouts. More than that, I try to carry that approach to all things and remember that what I believe is what I will have in my life.
Have a Happy & Healthy Day, Cheers :)
