Fit & Healthy Buffalo- Fitness Success After 40

Let’s face it, today more than ever, health is a topic of concern. We take precautions to avoid exposure to others and to mitigate our risk of contracting coronavirus by wearing masks, social distancing, staying home and following guidelines and protocols when out in public.  We do this because we don’t want to get ourselves or others sick. What is health? To have good health is to be free of illness or injury, to be able to adequately cope with the demands of life, and to maintain a state of equilibrium with yourself and your environment.  When we are in a state of good health our quality of life increases dramatically.

That’s a mindblowing amount of negative self-talk. If you’re going to live the life you are MEANT to live and that you DESERVE, it can’t be dragged down by all of that negativity and doubt. If you’ve ever caught yourself saying: “They must think I’m _____” “I should be _____ by now.” “Why am I so _____.” “Why can’t I ever seem to ____.” And filling in those blanks with something negative … then  you have GOT to change the conversation happening in your head.{READ  Combat Negative Self Talk HERE } Today, I want to teach you how to PRIME YOUR BRAIN to be more receptive to the positive messages you are sending it … and it’s backed by science!
