Subliminal Messaging Will Help You Stay Motivated To Exercise

“I bought my gym membership but didn’t get my value.”

“The initial enthusiasm to exercise remains just that, “initial”. It lasts just a week or two.”

“The mention of the word exercise makes me feel lethargic!”

Does this sound like you? If yes, then perhaps the following tips can keep you motivated enough to stick to an exercise regimen.

How to stick to an exercise regimen

Reverse Psychology

All of us are aware of the benefits of exercising, yet they don’t seem to motivate us enough to stick to our chosen exercise regimen. A good idea therefore is to apply a little bit of reverse psychology on yourself. Remind yourself regularly of the harmful effects of an inactive lifestyle. Stick a poster stating points like-increased risk of heart attack, obesity, high cholesterol, weaker bones in old age, lower immunity etc in your bathroom where you are most likely to spend a decent amount of time alone. A powerful reminder of what not exercising will do to your health will help to keep motivated.

Choose the right physical activity

Choosing the right physical activity is also extremely important. We always start with great and positive intentions but after a while something happens, perhaps to break our habit just once, then exercise loses its shine. It is therefore important to pick a form of exercise that you find interesting. Spinning, kickboxing, running, dancing, aerobics, football, tennis, swimming or any other sports, pick whatever you prefer.

Work with your subconscious

Finally, more than anything else it is your own will power which can help you stay motivated to stick to an exercise program. Though you may make a lot of efforts consciously, you’ll get the best results if your subconscious is attuned to your conscious desires. One way to do this is to use a powerful technique from hypnosis called “embracing a positive body image.” You could do this with help of a trained hypnotherapist or follow the steps listed below:

Close your eyes and sit in a comfortable position

Take a deep breath in and exhale

Imagine that with every out breath you are exhaling all your insecurities, fears and anxieties

Repeat this process for a few minutes

Now imagine yourself the way you want to look, fit and healthy

Embrace this image of yourself

Relax

Take a few deep breaths in and open your eyes.

This technique can be very powerful, but to be able to do it yourself you’ll need some practice. Another interesting do-it-yourself technique is listening to an audio CD containing subliminal messages. Soundtracks in these Cds are embedded with messages that have been manipulated so that they are beyond the perception of your conscious mind (therefore the name subliminal). Subliminal messages are considered to be powerful enough to influence your subconscious and reprogram it in such a way that it becomes easier for you to stay focused on your goals.

However, subliminal messages for exercise motivation, hypnosis or any other technique will be beneficial only if you are consciously willing to work towards your goal.
