If you have a tendency to focus on the negative, you’re not alone.
Just remember that negative self-talk is only going to make it more difficult for you to achieve the results that you want.
Our actions are 100% of the time determined by our beliefs. So if we believe that losing weight is hard … or tell ourselves, “I’ve never been able to stay consistent with an exercise program …” then your thoughts and actions are going to be completely aligned with those beliefs.
And lo and behold, when you’ve gotten the same disappointing results you’ve always gotten, your brain is going to say, “See? I told you so!”
Stop falling into this trap.
Because it’s not helping.
Don’t start these negative conversations with yourself.
Focus on the positives.
Celebrate the wins, no matter how small.
A long-term accomplishment would be, “I lost 30 pounds!” That’s certainly an achievement worth celebrating, but it’s not going to happen today.
And you never would’ve lost the 30th pound if you hadn’t lost the first one.
So my advice for today is not to focus on the destination. Focus on the process … the small improvements that you make every day, which add up to big results.
So along those lines, what’s ONE SMALL WIN that you’ve had over the past week? It might be something that you didn’t notice because you didn’t think it mattered.
But now you know, it does.
A lot.
Take a moment to share one win from the past week with me. I’d love to celebrate it with you. 🙂
