The simple act of journaling
So, here's the deal. Every day, I grab my journal and jot down how I'm feeling. But there's a twist – I write as if I'm already successful, kind, and yes, even handsome. It might sound a bit out there, but trust me, it works like magic.
Assume you're already successful
First up, I write about success. I pretend I'm already rocking at whatever I'm doing. It's not about bragging; it's about convincing my mind that I'm on the path to success. So, I might write, "Today, I aced that workout," or "Nailed that work presentation."
Dive into kindness – to yourself
Next, I dive into kindness. I throw in words that uplift me. It's like being my own cheerleader. I write stuff like, "You're doing great," or "You're kind to others, and it shows." It's surprising how these simple words can turn a meh day into a pretty good one.
Yes, you're handsome – own it
Now, let's talk about handsomeness. This one's a bit funny, but hey, why not? I sprinkle in words that make me feel good about how I look. "Looking handsome today," or "That smile is killer." It's not about being conceited; it's about embracing positivity.
The impact – it's real
Here's the cool part – doing this every day has a real impact. I start believing those words. When I face a challenge, I think, "I've got this. I'm successful." If I'm feeling down, I remember, "I'm kind, and that matters." And yeah, when I look in the mirror, I can't help but smile – "Yep, pretty handsome."
As a fitness coach, I see firsthand how this positivity shift spills over into everything. Workouts become more enjoyable, helping others becomes a breeze, and I find myself carrying this upbeat vibe into coaching sessions.
So, my friends, if you're up for a positive change, give it a shot. Grab a journal and start writing like you've already got the success, kindness, and handsomeness game on lock. It might feel a bit silly at first, but trust me, those simple words can do wonders. Here's to embracing the awesome in you every single day!
