There are many ways to enhance self-esteem through physical activity.The key is to understand that fitness and wellness are lifelong processes, they represent continuums not end points.
*Focus on personal improvement rather than comparing yourself to others.
*Choose activities that you enjoy (running, walking, yoga, weight training ) allowing you to concentrate on your own issues and goals.
*Educate yourself about the role exercise plays in your overall health and wellness. This will help you better understand how to commit to fitness over your lifetime ( reading health and fitness books and magazines, and seeking the help of a certified personal trainer can help you make the right decisions).
*Notice and list the positive aspects of how you look and feel due to your daily exercise plan( more energy, sleeping better, stronger) not just the # on the scale.
*Choose one realistic goal you have always wanted to accomplish and actually DO IT! Success breeds success; when you accomplish one small thing, you feel you can accomplish something else. For example, if you have always wanted to run a 5k, go ahead and sign up for one and start running!
Remember: YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE!
and...... YOU ARE A FIT AND HEALTHY PERSON!!!!
