Why is it that when you feel really strongly about doing something; that somehow you talk yourself out of it? Most nights I sit down and think “right, tomorrow I am going to ……… I know I don’t like doing it; but after I will be one step closer to…… “.
I often think of my fitness or nutrition goals or simply something at work. I am really motivated to make a change. Then when it comes to putting my plan in to action I back-down. Then I feel fed up with myself.
Why do we do this? Thinking of a simple task to do; may be the problem. We need to consider the bigger picture. What will we achieve by our actions? What made you want to plan the change? For me, I know that if I did stick to my healthy eating that I would be closer to my ideal weight, energy levels etc. I feel really strongly about this, so it motivates me. Especially if my goal is specific. Specific enough to visualise. So now I say to myself “I want to eat healthy to keep a consistent level of energy and to reduce my fat. I would like to weigh 7 pounds lighter in 12 weeks. Then I can fit in to this dress”.
Now this will motivate me not to eat that doughnut. I have a Plan, a REAL Plan. I know what I want to achieve and by when. I know that my actions will either Make or Hinder my goal.
Why wait? Nothing will be any different. How long have you been thinking of doing something different? There will always be something blocking your potential, its up to you to decide when you are taking control of your like. This is the youngest you we will ever be… Make the change NOW!
