Have your most AMAZING summer ever!

 

One of my favourite things about ZumbaGalaxy is that it's open to everyone - any age, any level of fitness, any level of skill and ability.  It give each person the chance to participate and enjoy themselves.  The ZumbaGalaxy life is all about just getting involved and having fun. We would love to help you bring that zest for living into your everyday life and here's how...

 

Most people have no idea how wonderful they are. Haven't you noticed how your best friends (who you know are amazing people) often put themselves down.  They often don't really go for the life they would love because of a lack of confidence and self belief.  I wonder how many people ever find out what they are really like even when they are older. Thankfully, I am one of the lucky ones who did find out who I really am and the great thing is I realised that I am great! "Whoa, slow down" I hear you say :) You’re not supposed to say that! Right? Wrong!

If you go through life thinking you are not good enough or just okay... how do you think your life would go?? Well, if YOU are not good enough, then your life will probably be “not good enough” too. The real problem is that most of us focus on what is wrong with our lives. Maybe your teacher or boss is giving you a hard time or you don’t have a boyfriend while all your friends do and worrying about it takes up all your time. It’s so easy to fall into that trap.  But what you might not realise is that what you focus on grows.  Think of a gardener if she waters the weeds then they grow and grow. 

 

So, how about trying this? Water the flowers in your life - focus on what is good.  And guess what? You are good. (And I sincerely mean that)Think about this for a second... could anyone else live your life?? NO! No one else gets to be you!! No one else has the talents and motivations that you have. You are unique and the world needs you. You have no idea how great your life can become and what you can make of yourself with a bit of support and self belief. You are GREAT! Some of you might find it easy to believe me but if you find it hard, don’t worry. The trick is to take control of your life starting with taking control of your mind. You are the “thinker” of your thoughts. Let’s pretend for a second. Decide to think “I am great”. Perfect! You did it. You might not 100% believe it yet but that is only because you had been thinking the opposite way too often. The idea that you are not good enough just isn’t true! So, whenever it comes up in your mind you will need to distract yourself or use a technique or two to contradict the negative.  Remember we want to water the flowers. Try writing it down now...Write - “I am great!!” then “(your name) is great!!” then “(your name), you are great!!”When I do it it looks like this - "I am great, Aideen is great, Aideen you are great".  (LOL, it makes me feel better just re-reading it)Honestly, if you listen carefully it will ring true for you. There is no reason for you to feel bad about yourself even if no-one seems to know you or understand you. It’s okay. Start today to be your own best friend, switch out of thinking horrible thoughts about yourself and choose to say “I am good enough” or just “I don’t know how great I am” and “My life is going to be an adventure!”. Every night write down three thing you did well that day - I had to do this when I was going through a challenge in my life and within a week I felt so much better. My name is Aideen and I was just like you but my life turned around when I started to believe in me. The only question is are you really willing to live YOUR best ZumbaGalaxy life. If you are then you will find support and encouragement all around you. It doesn’t always come from your parents, teachers, work colleagues and friends but it is there. Most importantly you need to take the controls into your own hands and start playing the game of LIFE with you on your own side, cheering yourself along. Good luck!!

One of the best things about Zumba Galaxy is the positive energy from Lucasz and Lorraine. It is CONTAGIOUS and helps everyone at the class to have fun and keep going until the end of the class.  Even when you feel wrecked and sweaty - you are still having a blast!

The problem is how do you keep your positive energy going all week long?? That's where these tips for positive thinking come in:

When you wake up in the morning take a second to be grateful for being alive.  Take 3 or four really deep breaths before you even get out of bed.

Buy a nice notebook and write down three things you are grateful for everyday either first thing in the morning or last thing at night. Also write one thing wish or goal you would like to have happen for you. 

If your goal is to get in shape write it down like this. For example: "Aideen is in her best shape ever".  "Aideen, you are in your best shape ever". "I am in my best shape ever". So, it's like someone is talking about you or talking to you or you are talking to yourself.

Write the goal down 10 times so that it really goes in and try it with any goal.  Like "(your name), is getting on great with everyone she knows" etc. 

Most people never realise that they can change the way they think but with these tips to start you off - I know you can! Let me know how you get on!!
