True Reflection


What you see in the mirror is just a reflection of how you feel. So what does this mean? You have to change the inside in order to change the outside. Most people find this statement to be backwards. You are probably saying; if I look good then I will feel good. Think about it for a minute. Ask anyone (or yourself) who has an overeating problem when they binge on food. It’s usually when they are sad, mad, stressed, depressed, or have simply given up on their goal. Those are bad feelings which cause a bad behavior.

Go take a look in the mirror right now. What do you see? Does the outside match the inside? Very few people look in the mirror and say; I look fat but I feel great. Or on the other hand, say; I look great but I feel like crap. I am in great shape, but I know on days I don’t feel great, the image that I see usually reflects that.

No matter what your fitness goals, first start with the inside. Get plenty of rest so you start each day feeling refreshed. Eat well to have the energy to complete your day and stay healthy. Do all the things that make you feel fresh, energetic, and motivated. Those feelings will take you to the gym, help you make good eating decisions, and start to change what you see in the mirror.
