Without a doubt, your self-esteem is an integral, foundational key to your long-term, lasting, health promotion success.
Your self-esteem plays a huge part in whether or not you will:
• Place enough value on yourself to transform your body, and thereby transform
your life
• Take the necessary action to create that transformation
If your self-esteem is at a low level you will not value yourself enough to truly “go for it” in life, much less allow yourself the freedom to live in a fit, healthy, and strong body. If you cannot imagine it, you certainly will not be able to believe that it is an attainable goal for you.
Fact: People do NOT get what they want in life, they get what they believe they deserve.
Low self-esteem will keep you stuck, frustrated and unhappy.
Low self-esteem will only serve to drag you down, and it will hold you down, all the while slowly equalizing to itself the other parts of your life so that so that you end up with a plummeting social and career life, and an overweight, unattractive, feel-bad, unhealthy body.
If this seems to describe your own situation then the KEY to overcoming this problem is to first realize that these beliefs are completely FALSE and invalid. The truth of the matter is that there are probably millions of people who have been in exactly the same position as you, who have successfully swapped their feel-bad, disease riddled, injured body for a new feel-good fit, strong, energetic and HEALTHY body.
They have turned their health around, and more importantly, they are living this way every day forward. If others can do it, then why not you?
The other side of the coin—high self-esteem.
When you have high self-esteem you will find it takes very little effort to:
• Take healthy, consistent action steps to improve your eating and exercise
habits to improve your health or combat disease and manage any conditions
you currently have.
• Believe that you deserve to have what you want… and then GO GET IT.
• Seek out a proven road map to follow that will solve your dilemma once and for
all to create a fit, healthy, strong body for yourself—without the struggle.
When you decide to learn HOW to think your own thoughts differently, and change the beliefs that are keeping you stuck in a body that isn’t healthy, it will be at that point that you start thinking new, freedom-forming thoughts that will set you free from the on-going struggle with yourself.
When YOU take responsibility for the fact that YOU have created the very same body that is causing you so much trouble and worry, you will be able to see that YOU are the one with the power to change that. No one else has that power.
It makes sense that we must make the appropriate changes if we want to get what we desire from life.
Take Action –
You can want to have a fit, strong, healthy feel-good body for the rest of your life, but if you do not take action to transform your inner and your outer self, so that they are more in alignment, you will continue to have low self-esteem. This will not help you reach your goals.
To improve health we have to accept that we have to take some ACTION. We have to eat and exercise in a different way than we have in the past, and we have to be consistent with those actions, day after day.
We have to commit for good and maintain motivation even when it seems like we aren’t making progress because at times in this health journey, progress is not noticeable over the course of a week, but only becomes clear after months of effort have been put in.
In order to succeed, these actions have to be doable if we are to finally unhinge ourselves from our current situation and move on.
You may have heard this famous quote before: “If you think you can, or you think you can’t, you are right.”
You are the one who really holds the key to making your dreams come true. The dream of finally getting to live in a fit, strong, healthy body—and to be able to do it without all the struggle that people usually endure. The best part of all? You get to keep that body for the long haul.
The reality is that if you feel stuck and trapped in a feel-bad, at-risk-for disease body, it is because you are the one with the stuck thoughts— the ones that are holding you where you are right now.
The simple truth: It is not about the physical action plan. It is about what we DO with it. Stop seeking for the next best approach and start seeking a way to simply do an approach.
If you are living with deep seated beliefs and fears that send you into self-sabotage over and over again, and which wreck your efforts, if you are not even able to get yourself started much less be consistent in your actions, then you must see by now that getting to your goal of not only getting onto a healthier path but staying that way is a tall order.
Is it any wonder that you feel frustrated, discouraged, confused and unsure about what on Earth is the solution to all of this?
Well, here it is in a nutshell—the key is your master control center. Your own brain.
Your mind. Your inner programming.
Until you get to the core of why you are not already taking the necessary consistent healthy daily actions to create the body of your dreams, then no nutrition or exercise program can “fix” the symptoms you are having to deal with—which is your unhealthy feel-bad body.
Without action, nothing changes, and until you are able to stay consistent with those healthy actions, how far do you think you will really get—and how healthy will you really stay into the long-term future?
You want to unlock a new you—a you that stays healthy without thought.
Imagine for a moment what your life is going to be like if you don’t get healthier—or worse, if you continue to experience more and more poor declining health or current disease.
You know what you feel like now and all the problems you face, but how will this progress 6 months, 1 year, 2 years from now? How does this make you feel?
Focus on this image in your mind.
You know you don’t want to feel any worse, so how much more intensely will you not want it in two months or twelve months’ time when things will have very likely progressed and gotten worse?
Is this acceptable to you?
Switch Your Mental Picture –
Now switch the mental picture to the opposite side.
Think about what it would mean if you could actually DO it (successfully stick with a healthier eating plan and combat any health issues you are currently facing).
Where will you be two months from now, or one year from now?
Imagine that healthy, happy feel good body doing all the things you want it to in life —pain free and energized.
How will you feel? Pretty great, huh?
Doing this simple mental exercise can boost motivation levels, and the more you do it, the more you will move in the direction that you want to move. It will help you to start believing that this is all possible to achieve.
Bottom Line –
Embracing high self-esteem is crucial for anyone seeking to transform their life and body.
Recognizing your worth is the first step toward taking decisive action toward better health and a fulfilling lifestyle. High self-esteem empowers you to make significant changes, encouraging consistent, health-enhancing behaviors like improving diet and exercise habits. It fuels the belief that you deserve a better life, guiding you to seek out and follow effective strategies for personal well-being.
Conversely, low self-esteem can trap you in a cycle of negative self-perception and inadequate self-care, leading to a declining quality of life both physically and socially. The key to breaking free from this cycle is realizing that the limitations you perceive are mental barriers that can be overcome.
By reprogramming how you think about yourself and your capabilities, you can initiate lasting change. It’s about making consistent, healthy choices that align with the life you desire and believe you deserve.
Change begins with a decision to take action, reinforcing that the power to transform your life lies within you.
