What you resist, you’re stuck with! Someone told me that long ago and it holds true with me today. How many times have you said to yourself, “I’ve got to exercise today” or “I’m going to write down everything I eat” or “I know I should be drinking more water” and then WE DON’T! We all KNOW what we “should” be doing (remember, “don’t should on yourself”) but we resist it. We seem to resist the most the things that will help us the most. Why? Beats me, but we seem to continue in our resistance but, guess what? If we keep resisting change, nothings going to change! Wow – what a concept! So, let’s do this. Get out a peace of paper and write down a goal you want to meet, whether it be in weight loss or getting a new job or whatever. Really – get that piece of paper and do it before we go on.
………………..I’m waiting!
Okay, did you do it? If you didn’t you can stop reading ’cause nothing else will make sense. After you write down your goal – sit and think and write “What I resist in getting to my goal is (now leave a blank line) and write down everything (excuses and all) that keep you from getting to your goal. In weight loss it might be counting calories (or points) and writing it down, exercising, keeping the right food in the house, cutting down on “junk food”, drinking plenty of liquids, staying within your calories, etc. etc. etc. Go on…..do it now!
It’s amazing to me how we set goals and then we set up roadblocks to keep us from getting there. I don’t know about you but to me a goal is a promise to myself and I don’t break promises to others so I sure won’t break one to me. I’m worth it and so are you!!! So the next step to getting to your goal is go back to the top of the page where you wrote ”What I resist in getting to my goal is…” and on that blank line write UP UNTIL NOW!!! That’s right, there’s no better time to change your habit of resistance (it is just a habit after all) is NOW! If you wrote lots of stuff….start working on one at a time. Pick the one, get another sheet, write that first sentence and the “up until now” and the habit you’re going to work on……and do it!! Mark on a calendar each day you succeed. Remember, it takes 21 days to make a habit so GO FOR IT!! I know you can! I have confidence in you – the only question remaining is DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF? If you don’t, send me an e-mail on your challenge and let’s talk. I’m here to help. Don’t let anything EVER stand in your way of getting what you want in your life.
With this I’ll end – it all goes back to YOU GOTTA WANT IT!!!
