Focus, visualisation, and positive attitude.

Right guys, I just wanted to talk to you about the importance of positive attitude and the impact it can have on your life. Now positive attitude can come in many shapes and forms, but its about being happy in whatever you. The glass is always half full, not empty. Catch my drift?

Theres a number of benefits for positive thinking; a healthier fitter life, life expectancy increased, reduction of stress and success in your career.
Positive attitude can help boost your immune system, to in turn help you live longer, especially when dealing with viral infections and some forms of cancer, found a 2007 study performed by the Department of Psychology at the University of Kentucky and published in Brain, Behavior and Immunity

Now lets move onto a BIG one now, FOCUS & VISUALISATION. As mentioned last time in my article about motivation, this is paramount. To want to achieve any sort of goal, whether in health and fitness or your career, you must focus and visualise your end result and the steps to get you there.

Lets look at this from a weight loss perspective, in the long term you may have an idol in your head you would love to look like. For example, ive recently had alot of female clients tell me they would love to look like olympic gold medalist Jessica Ennis. Now alot of surrounding factors tell them they will never look like this. Why not? With hard training, good diet and focus ANYTHING is achievable. Remember, these olympic athletes are not born great, they work hard and continue to push themselves to reach their goals, so why dont you?


Again, lets break this down even furthur and look more short term. Each session my clients enter the gym, I tell them to be work hard but more importantly stay positive. If I ask them to perform something specifically challeging, I want them to think, I CAN DO THIS, I WILL DO THIS. Think about the end result and its through this hard work they will achieve there end result. This focus and visualisation is what will help you to complete the task instead of thinking, I cant do this and crubbling on the floor. Its this drive and motivation that will stop you having that cheeky pint at the weekend, or kebab 'to reward yourself' after a tough week. Reward yourself when you reach the result you want! Not half way through!

Like I mentioned in the previous post, FIND MOTIVATION ANYWERE YOU CAN, look for it, search for it and always stay FOCUSED.
