Mindset Hack to Start Loving Exercise

The reason why most of us can never stick to a fitness routine is because of the way we VIEW exercise.

We see it as:

A chore. A punishment for eating like crap on the weekends.

An evil way to self-torture ourselves.

A pain.

If you continue viewing exercise in this negative lens, there is no amount of motivation or willpower you can muster to convince yourself to do it.

Rather than viewing exercise as a [pain, chore, insert negative word here], reframe your belief about exercise.

Here are some positive ways to look at exercise:

A form of self-care.

A stress reliever.

A fun rush of energy.

An endorphin high.

A (good) challenge.

An opportunity to get fitter, stronger, and healthier.

The simple act of reframing your belief about exercise can make a huge difference in your ability to stick with your fitness routine or not.

So before you say “Ugh, I HAVE to workout.” Consider saying instead, “I GET to workout!”
