Overcoming negative thoughts is a crucial step in nurturing our mental health and well-being. The incessant chatter of our inner critic, fueled by negative self-talk and persistent pessimistic thoughts, can significantly impact our lives. These negative thought patterns often lead to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. It’s essential to recognize the damaging effects of constant negative self-talk on our psyche and emotional state.

One effective way to combat negative self talk and challenge negative self-talk patterns is to replace them with positive self-talk and affirmations. A positive inner voice can help shift our thought patterns from negativity to positivity, fostering a healthier mindset. Techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are known to address unwanted thoughts and cognitive distortions, helping us reframe our beliefs and emotional responses. Seeking professional help, such as online therapy, can provide valuable strategies to transform negative thought patterns into a more positive mindset. By confronting and countering negativity with positive self-talk, we can gradually reduce stress and limit the influence of our worst critic, our inner voice, ultimately improving our mental well-being.

Why Does It Matter?

There are two big reasons why you want to focus on your form:

1. Firstly: If you execute an exercise properly you will put stress on your muscles. If you don’t, a lot of the stress goes to your joints. Stressed muscles burn calories, stressed joints wear out. Your repetitions should all look the same in terms of speed, stability (not shaking), and effort.
2. Secondly: When you are exercising properly you won’t get injured, and if you’ve been in any gym you know how common it is. Getting injured is going to prevent you from working out and dieting, it’ll pretty much set you back to square one.

How Do I Exercise With Good Form?

I touched on this a little, but the best way to achieve great form is to drop the weight. Most people grossly overestimate how much weight they can actually do. That’s why injuries are so common. So here are my main points when it comes to making sure you have good form a good repetition has these qualities:

• Lower weight
• Repetitions are the same speed
• There’s no pain
• It feels right
• You feel your muscles ONLY
