Its a gorgeous spring afternoon here on Long Island, and I just got back from playing a pickup game of softball. With both of my seasons coming up in a couple of weeks, theres just one more tune-up (next weekend) before the games actually count.
Anyhow, today I want to talk about what goes on between the ears. This topic was motivated by one of my clients, who I had a great conversation with yesterday morning
We were discussing hesitancy, and how people set themselves up for failure. Its funny how language can affect the outcomes of things, even on a subconscious level.
Saying things like I think or I could instead of I know and I will can make all the difference between being successful on a venture, or completely falling on your face.
My client also mentioned the difference between being beaten and losing. When youre beat, whoever or whatever you were up against just got the better of you on that particular day. You tried your best, but you were out-classed, and it just didnt work out. It doesnt mean that you FAILEDIt just means you either have to learn something new to accomplish your mission, or make a few adjustments so that this doesnt happen again.
Ive mentioned in the past that on my personal journey, I plateaued for TWO YEARS! Not two weeks, not two months TWO YEARS!
As you can imagine, it was incredibly frustrating! I fell off the wagon time and time again due to apathy and frustration, but I NEVER threw in the towel 100%. When one diet didnt work, I tried something else. Same with exercise, and same with my mental approach to my journey.
After a nearly six-year-long battle, I FINALLY got to the promised land, and lost exactly triple digits in terms of pounds. My clothes fit better, my musculature was more accentuated in the right spots, and I had abs for the first time in my life!
When you lose, you have all the tools necessary to succeed, but you still come up short. This is a disappointment, because when youre merely beaten, you can at least learn from your lack of success, and make adjustments to insure success in the future with that particular endeavor.
In the case of Permanent Weight Loss, the amazing thing is that YOU have everything you need to come out on top! You dont need to have a certain level of intelligence, fitness, whatever It comes down to having the will and the determination to see things through!
You know the old saying If at first you dont succeed, try, try again! Thats a perfect summary of what Im getting at
Everybodys different. We all have different challenges that will make this journey, at times, frustrating and trying. The difference between those who lose the weight FOR GOOD, those who lose the weight but gain it all back, and even those who struggle to even get to where theyd like in the first place, is what goes on between the ears.
You WILL succeed! You KNOW its going to take hard work, but that in the long run, its going to pay off!
The more you tell yourself that, the better off youre going to be. Until tomorrow!
