It’s time to get fit and healthy for 2022. On Love University, we learned the secrets of health and fitness from our guests, Jomilson and Theresa Alvarez. A lovely husband and wife team, Jomilson and Theresa provide training and encouragement to individuals with special needs to improve their health and strength. Here are some powerful tips we learned to help you have a great body and mind for 2022:
*You are Stronger Than You Think You Are: Believe in your ability to be strong and healthy. Repeat the following phrase daily: “I am stronger today than I was yesterday.” When you do this, you will overcome self-doubt and self-defeating mental and physical patterns. You will learn from your mistakes. You will become stronger mentally as you become stronger physically through exercise and movement.
Start Small: Start by exercising 10-15 minutes per day and gradually increase your time and frequency of exercise. One you start to feel good (endorphins) and see the difference (stronger and fitter), you will be motivated to work out more. You will consistently be in a state of Flow in which you forget your problems and self-consciousness as you merge your mind and body.
Do Your Passion In Your Safe Place: If you don’t like going out due to the virus, or because you’re Introvert, there are many ways to partake in physical activity at home. You can do a “home workout” with weights or aerobic equipment. You can also dance, garden, clean the house, play with your family or dog, or walk outside. Do what you love to do as long as it keeps you moving, and you will get in better shape.
Food is About What You Need, Not Always About What You Like: You can discipline your mind to eat what is good for you, not necessarily what tastes good. Although you can enjoy tasty meals, it’s also important to be consistent with your diet and eat healthy a majority of the time.
Jomilson and Theresa offer us excellent advice: Move it or Lose it. Physical movement, in even small ways, is good for you and stimulates your mind, body, and soul. As we enter the new year, make sure that you tell yourself that you are getting stronger—physically and mentally—every day. Also, start small, do your passion in a safe place, and discipline your mind to eat what is good for you. If you do these things, you can jumpstart your fitness program and feel the healthiest and strongest you have felt in a long time.
