Anxiety is our body perceiving physically threatening or emotionally frightening situations and alerting you so that you can effectively deal with them. You don’t want to eliminate anxiety from all aspects of life, because anxiety has a purpose. Confidence, perceptions of self, or previous experiences around exercise are just some of the other mindset barriers that get in the way of too much exercise or not enough. Why do you make excuses whether to exercise or not to exercise – Exercise induced anxiety is real! Everybody knows exercise is good for them.But if you’ve only been focused on the outcome of losing weight, and the process hasn’t been overly enjoyable, meaningful, or fulfilling, then you are probably going to put the weight back on. Most people are actually very good at losing weight. By focusing on the process, you promote the likelihood of finding a form of exercise that doesn’t feel like a chore and you do it because you enjoy it. When you engage with that process, there’s a high likelihood you’ll lose the weight anyway. This means you don’t focus on just losing the weight, you focus on the process (eating well, exercising, prioritizing sleep, managing stress levels). Are your goals behavioral-based or outcome-based – For many, setting a goal to lose weight can be a great motivator, but what’s important is the difference between process and outcome.But if wanting to go hard, be better and be stronger is coming from a place of comparison, a place of self-judgment, or a place of punishment, then that’s something that should set off internal alarms for you to work on creating a healthier version of “why you exercise”.

When it comes to getting the maximum benefit from exercise, most of us consider a good mindset equally as important as physical abilities. The one missing piece of information from this mentality is that being a high-performer, multi-tasker comes with a price – burnout.īurnout can cause anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and physical conditions. We have worked hard to be competitors in the game of life, whether as a student or employee, an athlete or struggling just to workout, a stay-at-home parent or working parent, solo or with family and friends – we all share a warrior mentality that has been engrained in us that if we work for it all we can have it all.
