Are you smart enough to change….?
You may consider me a little rude asking that question? Or feel affronted?
My intention is not to do that at all. Let me explain…
I see it all the time with my new clients. They tell me they know what they should be eating, they know they should get off their toosh/backside and move their bodies but they just can’t get their heads in the right place to make it happen.
They know what to do, so why are they not doing it?
These women are smart, intelligent women. They have successful careers, they’re on committees, they parent children fabulously, they’re a partner, a wife, a mother, a sister a friend…
BUT, they’re also looking after everyone and everything else but themselves. They put their desire to change in the too hard basket.
Sound familiar?
Change does not have to be hard, it can be easy.
If however, you continue to wait for it to happen, if you continue to wait for all your ducks to be lined up in a little row, if you continue to wait for it to be the perfect time….
If you continue to wait….
It won’t happen!
You are smart enough to change but I need to let you know that burst of motivation you might be waiting for is not coming, or if it does come, it may only be fleeting.
What I’ve discovered time and time again with my clients every time they went on yet another diet, it follows the same pattern.
They’re is a beginning where they commit to a new diet, then a period of success (though marred by feelings of restriction and deprivation), then there is the end where it all gets too hard, the results just aren’ t happening and they decide what’s the use or if they do have success which is wonderful, and they drop their unwanted kilos, it is fleeting because slowly and surely the weight creeps back on and sometimes just to add insult to injury, more kilos than what they lost!
Not fair! But guess what’?
It’s not they’re fault…
And if this story rings true with you, it’s not your fault either.
Unless you know how to change successfully, unless you have the tools you need to support you, your mind is going to keep you stuck. It’s number one job is to keep you safe, to keep you doing exactly what you always do.
So what do you to change?
Next time you feel the impulse to make a positive change in your life, like dropping those unwanted kilos/pounds, do not hesitate, take one action towards achieving it. It doesn’t matter how small that step is, you may google something, you may ring a friend, you may call a coach, you may visit your doctor, you might clean all that crappy food out of your pantry and fridge…
Then take the next step again… with out hesitation.
The moment you hesitate you lose. You’ve heard the saying you snooze you lose? When you hesitate your mind will jump in and say ‘whoa…hold on there honey, let’s not be too crazy about this…’
- It’s all to hard
- You’ve done it before and look where that got you
- You’re stuck with this body
- You’re destined to have this menopausal muffin top
- Why is this time going to be different?
And then your moment for change is gone….
