Most of us have been through a time where we had a lot of good intentions with a corresponding decline in action. Maybe you promised yourself to go for a run every morning, got off to a great start, and then by week three suddenly found yourself too busy at work, slept in late, or any of a number of excuses. Perhaps these excuses became stronger and stronger until jogging harder became a thing of the past. Or maybe you decided to turn the page and walk the dog twice a day or go swimming with the kids every week and somehow it never happened. And gyms make a nice profit on people who join and end up never setting foot in the gym, but remain members hoping, or pretending, to stay in shape. In other words, when it comes to exercise, there can be a lot of good intentions but an equally copious amount of inaction. There are 7 main emotional blocks in your path that you must release in order to move forward. Perhaps one or more sounds familiar to you.

1. A block is having every intention of exercising, but not having a clear mental image of yourself doing it. By image, I mean a clear visualization or clear sensation in your body from doing the exercise. If you can’t imagine yourself doing the action, chances are you won’t do it.
2. Another block, and perhaps even a bigger one, is a hidden emotional fear. If your unconscious mind doesn’t feel that it’s safe for you to exercise, then it will do everything it can to stop you.
3. Another block is about how you see your role. For example, a man who sees his role as always having to work to support his family and please his boss will find himself working all hours at the office or taking clients to dinner and rarely doing anything. exercise.
4. Another block is self-awareness. If you’re worried about going to the gym because you feel like you’ll be compared to fit members or feel too self-conscious in your gym clothes, then this is going to be such an unpleasant experience that it may soon be over for you.
5. A big block is limiting beliefs about yourself. For example, if a girl was discouraged from participating in men’s sports as a child, she may have the illogical belief that sports are not for girls; so it is possible that she inexplicably misses out on swimming, jogging, karate and all the things she would really love to do.
6. One thing that most exercise wannabes never achieve is setting specific goals. It’s one thing to want to be in shape, but without a clear goal to aim for, it’s hard to stick to it. Just being fit is too general a goal.
7. Another common mistake is having a big long-term goal but not planning intermediate steps. Then it’s all too easy to get discouraged and give up.

If you want to exercise motivation but somehow never stick to a plan, you may be able to recognize one or more of these blocks. The next step is to take steps to release these blocks from your path. There are many ways to help, including writing down your feelings and progress, and also tapping with EFT or Reiki to shift your energy into motivation to exercise. Take one step at a time, release anything on your way to success, and you will surely get there.
