It’s a New Year and the perfect time to get healthy and fit! 

“Do or do not not. There is no try” -Yoda

Set up a mind-body fitness plan that will inspire you and keep you focused. Start an exercise routine that will burn fat, build muscle, strengthen your core, and help your body perform optimally in everyday life. When your body looks and feels good inside and out, you do too!

What’s your first step? How do you change your attitude and get your mind in the right place?

Start by training from the inside out. You need to condition your “inner self” with a positive mental attitude.

Believe in yourself, have a vision of where you want to be, and make the commitment to get there!

Here are 3 exercises to help you get started:

#1-  Spend just 20 minutes writing down what you currently think about your life. What do I like about my life now? How do I feel about where I’m at? My physical condition?  My relationships? My finances? What frustrates me about my fitness and nutrition right now? What can I do better? What do I want to change?

#2-  Take accountability and make your decree. Envision how you will look and feel, and what your life will be like. Start with a 10-Week Decree plan. Ten weeks from now: How many days are you working out? How do you feel? Do you have more energy, are you stronger, lighter, moving better with fewer aches and pains?

Write these down as if they have already happened. What does your success feel like?

Here’s an example to help you get started:

I wake up each morning with so much more energy! I am exercising 5 days a week and have lost 10 pounds! My posture has improved, I look 2 inches taller! I eat five smaller healthy meals a day and am getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night. My focus on physical conditioning has improved other parts of my life; I have a stronger relationship with my spouse, I am relaxed and happy with my life!

#3-  Select key words from your decree and write them down on an index card. Choose words that will inspire you, and give you the strength and power to stick with your plan and honor your commitments. Read these words every morning, and carry it with you during the day to reinforce your convictions and keep you accountable.

Take Action, Train Your Mind and Body, and Transform Your Life!
