Comparing

Men and Women...

QUIT COMPARING!

I've been guilty of this so many times myself, seeing a body that I envy and saying I want to look like them. This is OK if it motivates you to workout but let it be to make YOUR body the best...not into someone else's. It's impossible. That's not supposed to be depressing but think of it as training your body to get someone else to say they want YOUR physique. It's hard not to compare when we are surrounded by bodies that are implied to be "attractive" or "appealing." However, be appreciative for the masterpiece you have. The body is capable of amazing transformations and is supposed to be different from others! It makes us unique. The goal is to look in the mirror and love what you see, not what a scale says or how it compares to anyone else.

Tips:
Look in the mirror and instead of focusing on what you don't like, say out loud what you do like.
If you say something negative, counter it with a positive comment. "My belly is like a donut, but my legs are strong because of it!"
The more positive you can be about life in general the more self confident you will become.

You are the best you train yourself to be.

So get active, smile, and enjoy!
