Telling ourselves that we “can’t” accomplish
something is 99% of the time a big fat lie.
If
you physically cannot do something, that’s fine. Embrace what you can do and
work your way up to being able to do what you couldn't today.
Refuse to settle for “Can’t” becoming your automatic
response to discomfort. Instead, take on
an “I sure can try,” attitude. Here’s what I mean…
·
When starting a new
fitness program and you’re sweating and huffing and burning and you have
another set, well, unless you’re on the verge of passing out, you can pause
regain your composure and push on.
·
Getting tired of
salads and oatmeal and it looks like it’s going to be difficult to stick to
your new nutrition plan, is it physically impossible for you to stick to it?
Nope. Think of what your “Why” is and push on.
·
Think you “can’t” give
up that nasty habit that’s keeping you from getting healthy? Think again! You
can do this and I am here to help.
When
you tell yourself you can’t do something, it bleeds into other areas of your
life, permeating your outlook on all things. Start saying “can’t” with your
fitness goals, and you’ll start finding excuses for why you can’t achieve a
higher position at work, a better relationship with your spouse, and so on.
Your mind spurting out “Can’t”s at you when the
going gets tough is a defense mechanism designed
to keep you from change. Your
body very much enjoys homeostasis and will fight you when you start pushing it
to change.
Don’t
let your mind tell you that you can’t achieve the healthy body you dream of.
Make your mind see things your way by replacing that stubborn “Can’t” response
with one that allows for the possibility of growth… or reduction, in this case.
