Fanning the Feel-Good!

posted by Bridgette Boudreau on Thursday, August 19, 2010
CATEGORY: All

I talk a lot about letting go of crappy dieting habits, ferreting out thoughts that don’t serve you, and how resisting feelings just causes them to linger.

That’s all good, but let’s get some freakin’ feel-good rockin’ here shall we?

Here’s my idea.

Let’s generate the world’s largest list of awesome thoughts to support us on our weight shiftin’/body rockin’/healthy livin’/fun-havin’/confidence-flowin’/ideal life livin’ journey.

I’ll start, and you comment and leave yours.

I’m a fun machine.

I love how my body feels when I work out intensly.

I’m proud of myself every time I make a choice that support who I truly am.

And who I truly am is extremely kickass.

Music fuels my soul.

Love is the best thought/feeling shifting tool–or is it laughter… or sex… well one of those!

Life is too short to take myself too damn seriously.

I love how my body has been there and supported me through everything.

I use food to nourish my body.

I use my tools to deal with life.

Food is to be savored and enjoyed–just like life.

I am so lucky.

I give up the crown of perfection.

I love me more than nachos.

Now YOU GO!

PS

If contemplating “Fan Guy” made your mind freeze, I’m sorry about that.

  I love when I take care of myself.

  It feels so good when I relax more and work less.

  When I stop to notice, life is pretty damn awesome.

  I deserve to enjoy life.

  Oh Bridgette, this is just what I needed this morning. Here’s mine:

  My body has been so loyal to me, like a puppy it looks to me to take care of it, nurture it, LOVE IT. I’m going to treat my body just like I would treat a puppy! Feed it well, exercise it, hug it!
