Mindset: My Body Is Amazing; Now Say IT!

How often do you truly appreciate your body?

In a world full of comparisons, it's easy to focus on perceived flaws and perhaps, like many, you have nothing positive to say about your own amazing form.

This constant internal critique isn't just unkind; it's a genuine stressor for your body.

When you're caught in a cycle of negative self talk, your brain interprets it as a threat.

This activates your sympathetic nervous system – your "fight, flight or freeze" response.

Instantly, a cascade of stress hormones, like cortisol and adrenaline, floods your system.

While essential for acute danger, chronic elevation of these hormones becomes problematic.

High cortisol levels can actually hinder your progress in building muscle and make it far more challenging to remove unwanted fat.

Your body, primed for survival, prioritises fat storage and can break down muscle for energy.

Let's turn the tide!

Start today by consciously acknowledging the incredible, intricate machine that is your body.

Say it aloud: "My body is amazing."

Embrace gratitude for all it does for you.

This simple, powerful shift in mindset reduces internal stress, creating a more supportive environment for genuine, lasting wellbeing.

Your body is listening, so make your thoughts its greatest ally.
