CREATING A POSITIVE MINDSET
According to scientists your mind processes about 100,000 thoughts a day and most of these are negative. Since your mind controls everything you do, it makes sense that your thoughts have a massive impact on your actions. It is also true that your mind acts like a magnet, attracting to you more of what you are thinking about. This means you really can 'think' yourself into a success or failure!
Creating a positive mindset is therefore the first step in creating long-term success in any area of your life, including your health, fitness and weight loss.
In order to create a positive mindset, you first need to become aware of your thoughts. With 100,000 thoughts a day roaming through your mind, the trick is to make sure they remain positive.
TAKE ACTION TODAY
What unhelpful thought would I like to change this week?
Just focus on one thing. Imagine if you implement just one strategy each week for the next 12 weeks, suddenly you have adopted 12 more helpful ways of thinking
Example
Thinking that food will help you cope with emotions or situations that you find difficult
More helpful way of thinking
To be honest unhealthy food won't really take away how rubbish my day was any more than a tasty healthy option. I'll look in my cookbook for something that will cheer me up but won't break the calorie bank.
If you need help figuring out what unhelpful thoughts are keeping you stuck then I suggest you book a complimentary fitness strategy session with me where I will take you through an exercise to help you deal with your unhelpful thoughts.

ROUND THE BAYS MARCH 18TH 2012
TRAINING TIP OF THE WEEK...
By now you know that you can run continuously for around 45 minutes, or walk the time required - good work! Here are some great tips to help you have fun on race day:
* Take Saturday off, or go for a very short walk or run.
* Eat a simple breakfast and have a drink 2-3 hours before the race starts at 9.30am. Eat foods your body is used to the night before.
* Take the wind into account: if there is a headwind, it might be a bit harder than you had envisaged, so pace yourself accordingly.
* If you are feeling nervous, try visualising yourself running the course and crossing the finish line.
* Concentrate on pacing yourself and conserving energy. Don't pay too much attention to the pace of your fellow runners - you could be tempted to run too fast and then burn out. Hold yourself back if you are feeling amped!
* Have fun! It's all about getting out there and enjoying yourself, so ease off the pressure and throttle on the enjoyment factor.
