What does positive thinking have to do with all of this? In my experience, positive thinking has been the most difficult aspect of my own journey and of the other members of my challenge groups. Why is this? There always seems to be something that holds us back. Whether it is something from our past or a habit that we don't want to give up. There is always something eating away at us. Maybe you have issues from your past. Maybe you are in a bad relationship. Maybe you just love junk food. All of these things have become road blocks. Things that are holding you back from accomplishing your goals.
You need to heal your spirit and mind before you can heal your body. One of my friends recently told me that she wasn't ready to start with this process until after she had dealt with her past first. She had a very difficult year last year and she finally went to a counselor. It wasn't easy, but she is in a really good place now. She is eating right and exercising again and I have noticed not only that she is slimmer, but also much happier.
Be aware of the way that you talk about yourself and others. Refrain from gossiping, criticizing, and being negative. Remember that constructive criticism is still criticism. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. This is not just with others, but also with yourself. Be kind to yourself!
NO NEGATIVE THOUGHTS!!! Every time you start to have a negative thought about yourself, replace it with a positive thought. Right now think of 3 of your best qualities. Be prepared to replace your negative thoughts with these positive ones.
