Try This Affirmations/Fitness Trick

This post is for you if:

a) You hate/ feel ridiculous/ can never find the time for, “doing” affirmations

and/or

b) You have some kind of repetitive fitness routine that you’d like to spice up.

I stumbled upon this quite by accident, but it works beautifully, is 100% free, and saves time.

The system works like this:

1. First of all, come up with an affirmation that you’d like to be true, and can feel your way into in your imagination (or you would be able to feel your way into, if you could keep a straight face for long enough whilst actually doing the affirmation.

For example, if you seek a relationship, one individual might want to repeat,”I have found the person of my dreams, ” but actually be able better to access the feeling that goes with, “I am loved”, in which case the latter would be bette, because it creates stronger emotional feelings.

2. Repeat your affirmation in a way that reflects the rhythm of your fitness activity. For example, I use an exercise bike each morning. It’s a rudimentary one, and so doesn’t have all the
bells and whistles on it, like speed and distance, that many do. Before I discovered this methoid therefore, I was reduced to counting how many revolutions I’d done. Now though, if I affirm (and internally is fine!)…

“I am healthy, I am wealthy, Iam happy, I am free, Iam healthy, I am wealthy, I am happy, I am me.”

I now know that that takes about 20 revolutions to complete. Much more fun than ordinary counting, and if your experience is in any way like mine, you’ll probably find that you’ll complete your “sets” of whatever activity it is you’re repeating, much faster, and more happily, as a bonus. You may well also discover yourself feeling more eager to start your activity in the first place.

Hope this helps.

As ever, more soon.
