5 Steps to a 30 Day Body/Mind Transformation

If you’re not happy with the skin you’re in and would like to
change it (and believe it’s possible), you’re ready for a 30
day body/mind transformation. Follow these steps to
guarantee yourself a new experience with your body within 30
days!

1. What do you want?

First figure out what your target is. Is it a certain number on
the scale? Fitting into a certain dress size? Losing a certain
number of inches? Whatever you’re shooting for, get clear on the
essence of what you want. Likely it’s just plain feeling good
about your body, being comfortable in your clothes (or out of
them), and/or proud of how you look.

Knowing what you’re really seeking is crucial to getting
results, so get clear on the true end result you’re after.

2. Powerphrase

Next step: choose a new mantra. What’s a mantra? Guaranteed
you’ve already got one, you just might not realize it. It’s the
phrase (or phrases) you repeat to yourself (and probably others)
day in and day out. To effect your 30 day turnaround, replace
your old mantra with a powerful new one.

For example, maybe you have a habit of identifying yourself as
someone who “carries a few extra pounds” or “always struggles
with weight.” These phrases are literally instructions to our
cells … what we say to ourselves manifests!

That’s why this step calls for a new set of instructions. Make a
new habit of telling yourself “Things are looking up!” or “Hot
dang, I look good!” Maybe even a wolf whistle can serve as your
new “mantra.” Whatever it is, make it short, powerful and juicy.

This isn’t like a tired old affirmation, but something energetic
and new. Consider an empowering sentence from a movie or song or
celebrity you love. Maybe James Brown’s “I feel good!” or “Right
here, right now” by Fatboy Slim, or Mr. Rogers’ “I like you just
the way you are.”

3. Lighten the Load

Make room for good things to happen with your body by
eliminating something not-so-good in your life. Whether it’s a
relationship, an outfit, a commute, a cluttered closet or a
responsibility – identify something you’re not enjoying and
unload it.

Yes, it might be scary. Yes, it will be life-changing. Creating
a vacuum makes space for something new to materialize. It will
raise your vibration and dramatically enhance your 30 day
body/mind transformation.

4. Collect Evidence

This step in your 30 day transformation involves becoming a
detective of sorts. Look for evidence that things are going your
way. Not just in the area of your physical fitness, but all
areas of life. Notice when you have more energy, when you
receive compliments, when work goes smoothly, your nights out
are more enjoyable, you have a great hair day or when extra
money trickles in.

Notice and appreciate these things. You might start a list so
you don’t take them for granted. It’s a sign your turnaround is
in progress! As you notice these things going right, you’ll find
more and more evidence to add to the list!

It’s also helpful to flow some appreciation for what you already
love about your body – or life in general. A supportive partner?
A green lawn? Stable job? Decent health? Full tank of gas? When
you feel the gratitude for the good stuff, you get more good
stuff.

5. Inspired Action Only

Stop doing things that don’t feel good, and start doing things
that do. This step by itself can get things moving physically
immediately! It’s easier said than done, but start with baby
steps.

Instead of another 30 minutes on the treadmill, take the dog for
a walk, try out yoga, or learn to belly dance. Rather than
meeting the girls for lunch at the same old salad bar, treat
yourself to food you truly enjoy at a new restaurant. This goes
for all areas of life, too. Forget working another hour of
overtime, goof off at the book store instead. Skip dinner at
your sister’s house, and catch a new release at the theater.
Whatever it is for you, practice doing only things that feel
good. Your body will love you for it!

Power Through It

Lastly, throughout these four weeks there will be times you get
discouraged that it seems nothing’s changed. Things are
changing, you’re just not seeing physical evidence yet. It’s
crucial you power through this period of believing, but not yet
seeing. This is where the magic is! Knowing that things are
getting better before they actually are.

Remember, this works! And it’s only 30 days! Once you get to the
other side of it, your MINDSET about your body will be
transformed, which is what allows your BODY to follow suit!

Final Tip

All the body really needs to thrive is oxygen, water and love.
Breathe deep, drink up, and love yourself and your cells to
create your 30 day body/mind transformation!
