Today, we’re diving into something incredibly crucial for your fitness and overall well-being: self-worth. It’s a concept that goes far beyond self-esteem and plays a pivotal role in every aspect of your life, especially your health and fitness journey.

Imagine your self-worth as a beacon that illuminates your path, reminding you of your importance, value, and the incredible potential within you. It’s about recognizing that you are worthy of being treated well and living a life filled with health, vitality, and happiness.

Here’s why self-worth is so transformative:

1. It Transcends Superficial Judgments

We all have those moments when we scrutinize ourselves in the mirror and don’t like what we see. Perhaps it’s your arms, midsection, or any other part of your body that doesn’t align with societal beauty standards. In these moments, self-esteem might falter.

Self-worth, on the other hand, reminds you that you are not defined by the appearance of your arms or any other physical aspect. It empowers you to recognize your inherent value, regardless of what the mirror reflects. It becomes the driving force that pushes you to make positive changes because you believe you are worthy of feeling amazing.

2. Setting Boundaries and Pursuing Goals

Self-worth extends beyond your physical self. It influences the boundaries you set in relationships and the goals you strive to achieve. When you know your worth, you establish standards for how you allow others to treat you, ensuring that you receive the respect and care you deserve.

Furthermore, self-worth fuels your ambition and inspires you to chase your dreams. It’s the spark that ignites your desire to go after that promotion, run that marathon, or make any other significant life change because you believe in your worthiness.

Now, let’s embark on a powerful exercise that will help you harness the energy of self-worth and put it into action.

The 12-Month Vision Exercise: Living Your Worthiness Today

  • Envision Your Best 12 Months: Close your eyes and imagine that we’re having a conversation exactly 12 months from today. During this year, you’ve experienced unprecedented growth in your health and fitness. What are the goals you’ve achieved? Take a moment to write them down.
  • Feel the Transformation: Picture how it feels to live this life of improved health and vitality. Imagine your daily routines, your boundless energy, your newfound confidence. How does it affect your relationships and social life? Describe these feelings and experiences.
  • Decisions that Shape Your Destiny: Now, contemplate the decisions you’re making in this vision. How often are you working out? What are you eating to fuel your body? What choices lead to your success? Write down these decisions and commitments.
  • Today is the Day: The most crucial step – why wait 12 months to make these decisions? Embrace the person you’ll become in a year and start living as that person today. Align your choices with your future self. Live your life as if you’ve already achieved those goals because you are worthy of a vibrant, healthy, and fulfilled life.

Remember, self-worth is your superpower. It propels you to take action, set goals, and create a reality that aligns with your true value. Embrace it, harness it, and watch it transform your fitness journey and your life. You are worth it!

That’s the fastest and surest way to achieve your goals … spending your days as the person who already has achieved what you want.

And let me tell you, this is one of my most FAVORITE things to help people with. 

Make it an amazing future-self kind of day,
