Introduction

For the longest time, I struggled with my mindset regarding body image, training, and nutrition. I found myself caught in a cycle of overtraining, under-eating, and binge eating, all while battling self-sabotage and disbelief in my ability to achieve the results I desired. The constant obsession with my physique left me disheartened and discouraged. However, through my journey, I’ve learned invaluable lessons and developed strategies that have transformed my mindset and approach. In this post, I’ll share three key strategies that have helped me shift my perspective and ultimately feel proud of the body I inhabit.

1. Focus on Functional Strength

The first step in shifting your mindset is to move away from obsessing solely over aesthetics and redirect your focus towards what your body can do and how it feels. By setting strength goals, you redefine what is possible for yourself. When you shift your mindset in this way, you’ll find yourself eager to engage in workouts, enjoying the process, and feeling empowered. Instead of fixating on outward appearances, embrace the journey of becoming stronger and more capable. By focusing on strength, you’ll naturally achieve aesthetic goals as a byproduct.

2. Embrace Sustainable Habits

Rather than adopting an all-or-nothing approach, prioritise building sustainable habits that align with your lifestyle. Choose a realistic number of days per week to commit to exercise, ensuring it becomes an integral part of your routine. By zooming out and focusing on long-term progress, you’ll avoid getting discouraged by minor setbacks. Consistency is key in achieving lasting results, so make sure your approach is sustainable and enjoyable.

3. Cultivate Self-Belief

Overcoming self-doubt is essential in achieving your goals. Start by tracking and measuring your progress to build evidence of your capabilities. Be mindful of your inner dialogue and actively challenge negative self-talk. Replace limiting beliefs with empowering affirmations that resonate with you. Pushing your boundaries and embracing challenges will strengthen your self-belief and confidence, both in and out of the gym.

Conclusion

Transforming your mindset is crucial in building a body you’re proud of. By shifting your focus to functional strength, embracing sustainable habits, and cultivating self-belief, you can take aligned action towards your goals. Remember, progress takes time, so be patient with yourself and celebrate every step forward.
