Are you on a fitness journey or thinking about getting on one? Whether you are on a fitness journey to lose weight, to be more active, to get your body to look like how you want it to look or to use exercise as a form of mental health care, Fitness is a mental game!
It’s an inside game!
The way you speak to yourself inside your head is so important. You can support and encourage yourself with the way yo speak to yourself or you can psyche yourself out!
Using affirmations on your fitness journey can be a game changer! In this blog post, you will find 25 of my most favorite fitness affirmations.
My fitness Journey
I’m not going to bore you with pages and pages of my fitness journey story, but here is an overview! Maybe you can relate.
I went through a lot of abuse and neglect as a kid and I turned to food to be my comfort. My family is wrecked with generational diet culture mentality trauma, so I was raised on dieting and only being good enough and worthy if your body was skinny or if you were starving if you weren’t skinny.
Weight loss in my family was the holy grail. The only time I’d see my family members be actually happy for me, with a gleam in their eyes, was when I was losing weight.
I went through a cycle of binge eating and starvation over and over again most of my life. Now, as a mom in my 40’s, I am FINALLY learning how to NOURISH my mind, body and soul and am on a healthy, non toxic, non diet culture, fitness journey.
