Sexy

I get a lot of comments about the word ‘sexy’ in my little motto. People will actually giggle when they see it. Do you think sexy is just for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? It’s not only for the rich and famous. We all can be sexy, and you have to remember it comes from within. I know you’ve seen the man or woman who everyone flocks to, who lights up the room, who can turn heads by merely walking into a room, yet they may or may not be all that physically attractive. For some, just getting dressed for bed with the lights on in front of our partner is a challenge, while others have no problem parading around their home au naturel.  Have you ever wondered how they do it or what it is about them that makes them so special?

I’ve had a few people tell me I may be able to make them strong and healthy, but sexy? Yeah, sexy! You can’t let that muffin top define who you are. People don’t say, “Oh look! There’s Sue, my friend with the nasty muffin top!” No, the only person saying that is you saying that to yourself. So, stop it. Stop doing it NOW! I’m a firm believer in the power on intention, and all that negative focus will only bring you more negative things.  I love the following quote:

Focus

If you focus on resentment, you’ll create many more things to resent. When you focus on gratitude, you’ll bring many more things into your life for which to be thankful.

Focus on anger, and you’ll continue finding additional reasons to be angry. Focus on love, and the opportunities for experiencing love will greatly multiply.

Focus on life’s best possibilities, and you’ll move steadily in the direction of your dreams. Focus on the things you truly value, and they grow even more valuable.

Focus on what you are able to give, and you’ll greatly expand what you are able to have. Focus your energy, your attention, your interest and your passion on some particular thing, and you can make the impossible happen.

Where is your focus most consistently directed? That is where your life is most certainly headed.

By choosing your focus, you choose your lifestyle, the world around you, and your future. Focus on what is truly good and right and valuable for you, and you will be gloriously immersed in that goodness.

– Ralph Marston 

 

There comes a time in our lives when we must turn that focus back on ourselves. For me, it was my divorce that propelled me into action. I confess my motivation for getting fit was borne primarily from sheer vanity, and getting healthy was a side effect.  Now I can keep up with my 11 year old, help carry a freezer for a neighbor, bring in my own groceries and do pretty much anything I set my  mind to. That is power! And that is sexy, too!

We all have a different view of what is sexy. It’s all realtive to your personal thoughts, so when I tell you I can help you feel sexy again, I mean it. If sexy means muscles or a few curves, or if it means carrying a 50 lb. bag of dog food up the stairs with a smile on your face, then you can have it! My motto comes from trying encompass what a fit and healthy lifestyle will bring for all of us. That is essentially where your motivation will be found, so think about what you define as healthy, sexy and strong. What it means to you won’t be the same for me, and that is why it’s so very important for you to look inside instead of what’s all around you.
