Getting Rid of Negative Thoughts Will Lead to Positive Results

In order to shut out those negative thoughts (especially if you have missed a workout or failed to stay with your eating plan) you have to trick yourself to stay motivated. One way to help is by setting realistic goals. By doing the smallest step necessary to move toward your bigger goal, you are more likely to stay encouraged because you will have some success you can measure each day. When you contemplate quitting a workout, shift your focus to finishing out your set and then re-evaluate if you really want to stop. Sometimes you may need to visualize a competition to get through the last couple of minutes of your run. If you workout seems boring, think of other aspects of the workout that are positive—your form looks great or you finished all sets and repetition. Just remember, you can force out the negative all with positive thoughts.
