Last week I talked about next-level steps
you can take to boost your results …
and today’s email might just be about the most important step.
It affects almost every action you take and every decision you make.
It’s your mindset … and it could be playing tricks on you!
Here’s why it’s worth paying attention to:
People can develop beliefs, habits, and feelings that help us … but later in life, those same beliefs, habits, and feelings can work AGAINST us without us even realising it!
I’m going to focus on fitness & wellness, but this applies to every area of your life, from your finances to your relationships.
Example 1: When you were growing up, food was used as a reward or way to soothe your feelings when you had a bad day. So now, if something great and/or stressful happens, you believe you “deserve” pizza and ice
cream even though they aren’t helping you reach your goals (not to mention the stomach ache after you eat them).
Example 2: You spent years doing cardio workouts, spent hours on the treadmill or cross trainer as a punishment for eating chocolate, crisps or similar!! You are still doing those cardio sessions to compensate for the extra calories you are consuming even though it can leave you feeling exhausted and makes little or no change to your weight or the way your body looks!
You get the picture!
We all struggle with these things at some point or another.
The good news is that you can CHANGE your mindset around these beliefs. Here are 3 steps to overturning those limiting beliefs.
1. It starts with PAYING ATTENTION and recognising them when they crop up.
This can be surprisingly challenging because they can feel like non-refutable facts or actions, to the point where you don’t even question them.
This is why it’s so important to:
2. Question your beliefs and habits. Try to understand them – while they might have served you in the past, are they doing you any favors now?
Ask yourself, “Why do I think or do this?”
3. Step out of your comfort zone (with baby steps). Over time you can replace your old beliefs with positive beliefs and habits that support your goals and current lifestyle.
If you need help getting rid of old, limiting beliefs that have been getting in your way, our LIFT 12 Week Transformation Program and our 8 Week Body Confidence Bootcamp can help!
We have a proven plan to help you: lose body fat, feel stronger and fitter, reach your body goals!

PS: I have 1 Personal Training place available for

Check out Nicola’s amazing results she has experienced with me in just 6 weeks!!
Nicola has since returned from her holiday and is setting more goals. I can’t wait to see what results she will get in the next few months!!
You
can experience results like this too!
‘I started attending Nicki’s classes about 12
years ago, on and off - kettlercise, step, etc. I have always enjoyed them. But starting PT recently with Nicki and following her Lift programme has been the most uplifting and enjoyable, with amazing results! I was feeling quite low since lockdown, turning 40, with my body after putting weight on and work/family life balance. Nicki helps set food goals and how to easily track calorie intake. I haven’t been left starving! Lifting weights has been exhilarating to see what I can actually do. It’s
not about trying to look like a body builder. I feel stronger, happier and I look forward to each session. I lost 11lb in 6 weeks and a total of 22 inches. It meant I went on holiday feeling more confident and ready to wear my bikini! I was also really eager to get back to it after my week off. Each session is like therapy, happily chatting to Nicki as she pushes you to do the best you can. I always leave sweaty but smiling. ‘
Nicola xx
