This week I made a post on my Facebook asking what my readers (YOU) would like to see from my blog. I got lots of great messages, but the majority of you wanted to know how I keep myself motivated to have a great body, eat clean, work out all the time & to build my own success (and actually enjoy it!) .. So firstly thank-you for all of your emails!
My secret?
A few years ago I was introduced to a idea called "the vision board". A vision board is a canvas you place up somewhere you look everyday.. Like in your office, bedroom or bathroom. It has photos of all the things you want to have OR achieve in life. So why not have a 'Body Vision Board' too?
This was my first ever Vision Board I created in 2009 to give you an example! Every year I create a new one to keep it fresh.
Those who know me personally know that I am in love with the Victoria’s Secret Angels – Mainly Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima. These are a few of the models that keep me motivated, their bodies are lean but very toned. I have photos of them all over my vision board. Looking at my vision board everyday not only helps me stay motivated to achieve my goals and dreams, but helps me MAINTAIN those achievements I have already made. When you create your dreams board, make it BIG, bright and fun! Make it your own & don't be afraid of what other people think of it, because its just for you.
Another way in staying driven to achieve your goals while you are away from your vision board is having those photos that keep you motivated on your phone. I have a folder called Body Fitspiration on my iPhone.. (for when I'm not around my vision board) and every time I need that extra push, I just look at those pictures..
This is my background photo on my iPhone!
NOTE: If you know you are a quitter, you have already given up on yourself. Positive thinking goes a very long way in every aspect of your life. So; this is for people with a great attitude who really want to achieve great thing. I love helping people, but in order to do that you need to help yourself first. Make a conscious effort to be positive every day and you will start to see some serious changes.
While we are on the topic of positivity - Make sure the people you surround yourself with are P. O. S. I. T. I. V. E! How many people can you think of in your life are bringing you down, instead of pushing you UP? If one these people are close to you like a family member or a friend, you need to sit that person down and tell them you feel that they are a negative impact on you. But if you find a person who is floating around in your life (or on your Facebook, Twitter ect.) making a negative impact or saying nasty things about you, just remove them from your life. It is very easy. Facebook makes it even easier with a "Remove from Friends" button you can click too ;)
I'm here to encourage you not to let people who are negative, jealous & mean bring you down. If some of your friends are like that and don't make a conscious decision to change.. FIRE THEM! Yes, you heard correct.. Fire them! Like the Trump does. I know that might sound harsh - but do you really want people bringing you down while you are trying to move UP?
You don’t get a second chance at life, so why not have a body you can be proud of, live in great health AND enjoy your life with people surrounding you who influence you positively - pushing you UP, not down.
Live well, be well & share it with people who deserve to be present.
