Your Body Is Listening to You
Mar 21, 2022Your body is listening to you!
We’re learning more and more all the time about the incredible connections between our brains and our bodies. We’re seeing that our thoughts really do affect our bodies. Even when we’re not aware of it, our physical self is responding to what it hears from our mental self.
In other words, your body is listening to you.
So, when you tell yourself, “I can’t do it,” that leads to your shoulders shrugging and your butt planting itself on the couch.
When you say, “I’ll never be good enough,” your energy plummets.
And when you say, “I’m going to make it happen today,” guess what? YOU DO. You might even feel a physical charge of determination. You might start imagining yourself doing your workout – and how proud you’ll feel when you’re done.
I’ve even observed this AMAZING phenomenon in clients where their beliefs about what their body can or can’t do becomes their reality.
I’ve had clients who’ve truly believed they couldn’t lose weight, so they didn’t. After some inner work, that belief changed, and the weight fell off.
I’ve also had clients who were doing AMAZINGLY in their health and fitness before they started working with me, but struggled with body image issues. They would tell themselves they were “fat", and their bodies struggled to reflect anything different to that until they changed the way they spoke to themselves.
Really listen to the thoughts you’re sharing with your body.
So, visualise yourself living the healthy lifestyle you want. Do so deliberately. And do it as often as you need to. It gets easier and stronger every time.
We take motivation from all kinds of sources. Don’t forget that your inner voice is one of them.
Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences with this if you want to hit reply, and let me know!

PS. We do quite a bit of inner work in my 12 Week Mindset/Movement/Nutrition program, so if you're looking for the whole package that helps you lose weight, but also gets you in the right mindset for long term success, then you need to do my program! I 100% believe in it and I'm obsessed with the content I have in there that helps women over 35 thrive with body confidence and energy again!
