1) Accept compliments. Many people have trouble with this. Recognize the efforts that you’ve made. Accept that you worked hard to eat clean and workout, and have successfully made changes to your body.
2) Find time to be ‘centered’. That may come through listening to music or tones that make you feel happy or peaceful. Try meditation or yoga. Many people find peaceful moments reading poetry or uplifting books.
3) Journaling can be a great way to express and release negative emotions.
4) Share with others about what’s worked for you with healthy eating and exercise. Write comments at the bottom of my blogs and share your experiences. I’d love to hear from you. You can also ‘like’ us on Facebook by clicking on the ‘F’ Facebook insignia to share us with your friends.
