You talk down to yourself
Fitness is a total mind-body experience. If you’re not in the zone, your body slows down. So, don’t let your negative inner dialogue beat you down. “If your mind is saying you’re tired, slow down and ask yourself why,” says Sander. Don’t beat yourself up if you have to stop early because you’re exhausted. Everyone has an off day and it’s better to listen to your body rather than risk hurting yourself over a couple of pounds on the scale. It’s important to maintain a positive outlook no matter how you feel or what you see in the mirror. Take the night to refresh your mind, body, and spirit and return to the gym the next day ready to work harder than before. Creating an upbeat workout playlist or setting short term workout goals are other ways you can stay motivated and invigorated at the gym
