Challenge Your Lies
Today, I pose a challenge for all of us women seeking to live healthy, balanced lives.
Every time you have an extreme, guilt-inducing thought regarding diet or exercise, challenge it.
Step 1: notice it.
Step 2: acknowledge it for what it is, a lie.
Step 3: replace it with the truth.
Don’t believe everything you think.
Remember, most of us have been heavily influenced my media messaging since we were young. If you think you can’t have pizza without gaining weight, you’re wrong. That’s a lie. Or maybe you think it’s pointless to jog since you’re out of shape and only able to run a few minutes at a time. That’s just not true either; another lie.
We all have different “truths” that we’ve been taught to believe. They are so ingrained in our thought patterns that we may not even notice them as lies, they have become our truths.
So, for the rest of this week – challenge your lies.
Do you have a lie that won’t get out of your mind? You’re not alone. Feel free to share it below so we can encourage one another to ditch the guilt and get on with healthy, balanced, productive living.

Sometimes I feel like not going to my pilates class because I feel a bit sub-par but I know that’s a lie, so disregard the thought. I know I’ve never got to the end of a class and said, “I wish I hadn’t gone to this class”.
