Speak kindly to yourself

In order to have a healthy body, first you have to have a healthy mind. If you don't treat your mind with respect, how on earth do you suppose you can have a healthy body?

But what do I mean by that rather interesting statement? Surely it is a matter of eating the right foods and doing the prescribed number of situps isn't it?

Actually that is only part of the equation. And this is why a lot of people fail in their bid to get fit, lose weight or achieve any number of goals that they set for themselves.

In order to have a healthy mind and body - you have to speak to yourself with respect and kindness.

Unfortunately most of the time we speak to ourselves in less than glowing terms and it shows in the way that we hold our bodies, and the quality of the words we speak to other people. You see we "speak" on average 20,000 words to ourselves each and every day. Those thoughts that run through our minds have the power to build up or destroy our creative and any other thought process we may have. And of course what we "tell ourselves" we usually attract - it's not called the Law of Attraction for nothing.

So what do we tell ourselves every day? We can't do that because...., we've always failed at...., who do you think you are to even think that you can.... and on and on it goes. 

It's an interesting process to actually listen to your inner dialogue, but it is essential that you know what you are saying to yourself so that you can stop the abuse. Because it is a form of self-abuse. If you spoke to other people in the same way that you spoke to yourself, you wouldn't have many friends.
 
So learn to say kind things about yourself, it is the most important step on the road to a healthy body and a healthy mind.
