]]>“I Deserve to Be Healthy and Happy”
Remind yourself why you are working out in the first place—to improve your physical and mental wellbeing. You deserve to do the things that make you feel good and anxiety or fear of judgment shouldn’t stop you.
“My Body is Strong and Powerful”
If you struggle with your body image, this affirmation can help encourage you to stop being ashamed of your body and be grateful for it.
“I Am Confident in My Abilities”
We’ve all felt like we’re not fit enough or don’t have the right skills to work out in public. Even if you’re just starting on your fitness journey, telling yourself that you are confident in your abilities will help the manifest the best mindset to keep improving.
“I Will Take Up Space”
Gyms are INTIMIDATING. If someone’s hovering behind you when you’ve just started using a machine, it can be very easy to feel embarrassed and move on. However, you have as much right to be there as anyone else, using the machines, following your training plan, and taking up space.
“When I See Other People Exercising, I Feel Inspired”
This one is super important. Think about how you feel when you see others exercising in public, whatever shape, size, or fitness level. Is it judgment and ridicule or is it admiration and respect? We’re guessing the latter.

]]>Avoid Sugar and White Flour
Refined sugar that you can find in store-bought sweets, sodas, ice-cream, sauces, just like plain white bread and pastry made with white flour are all transformed into simple sugar in your body. It messes with your hormones and can lead to weight gain. The bad thing is that it’s highly addictive. The good news is that you only need to last 3 weeks in order to break the habit.
Focus on Greens
Leafy greens will provide you with complex carbs, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that will help you feel healthier and more confident knowing that you’re doing something good for your body.
Weight Training
Weight training is something that can quickly help you look more toned and feel stronger, which is why it’s a great workout option for both men and women.

]]>The fitness influencer admitted she was an extremely shy kid, but that changed once she started playing basketball. This sport provided her with a vessel to start breaking out of her shell and helped her learn to be more confident.
“It gave me confidence to know that my body and mind could work together to make a creative play, to make a game winning shot, to problem solve, and work with others towards a common goal,” wrote Kelsey Heenan on Instagram.
I used to be painfully shy. _ As a kid, I was terrified to talk to people. Honestly, I would burst into tears if someone I didn’t know tried to talk to me. _ It wasn’t until I started playing sports that I started to gain confidence in who I was. _ 
Basketball was a gateway for me to express myself when I didn’t know how to use words. _ It gave me confidence to know that my body and mind could work together to make a creative play, to make a game winning shot, to problem solve, and work with others towards a common goal. _ It was a vessel for me to start breaking out of my shell and learn to be more confident in other areas of my life. _ 
Movement is powerful in that way. When you accomplish something that you never thought you could do, it catapults into other areas of your life. _ My parents went through some old home videos and sent me some clips from my high school games… These were circa 2004-2007!

The point? We don’t always see an accurate view of ourselves. _ When we look in the mirror, we sit and stare, tearing apart every aspect… body, face, hair, skin…everything. _ We are often our own worst critic and we judge ourselves HARD. _
