Are your Fears Holding You Back?
If I guaranteed that you wouldn’t fail, would you Go For IT? Many of us, never reach our full potential just because of fear. Some are just as afraid of success as they are of failure. What if I fail, what if I succeed, what if I disappoint, what if, what if, what if….. You can what if things in life all day long, but that isn’t going to get you anywhere. What if you never Try? You will never know what you could have been? If you eat the whole bag of cookies, so what, does that mean you’re a failure? No, it just means you need to get back to eating clean, no cheat meal for the week, and work your tail off at the next gym session. It doesn’t mean you failed!!!
I see so many people reaching for fitness goals, and they get so angry with themselves over the littlest things. Don’t beat yourself up, it’s hard to be positive and strive for something that may be difficult at first, if all you are telling yourself, “Is your stupid, fat, ugly, tired, worthless, or you can’t do this, etc” Would you be able to get your job done if that is what your boss was constantly telling you? So why is it okay to do it to ourselves? You need to first, change those negative thoughts to nurturing thoughts. You need to believe in yourself and what you can achieve. Write down your goals, put done the smallest goals to the HUGE, seems impossible ones. Write up a plan on how you attend to reach those goals. “You didn’t think I was going to tell you to wish and hope for them, did ya”?
You’ve got to put that plan into action. Write down what your obstacles are that you are going to face. What are your methods to handling those obstacles? What are you going to do when you give in to those obstacles? I can tell you, that you are not going to give up! Your going to pick yourself up and keep going with it. Don’t allow fear or failure to inhibit your desires in life. Find that deep desire to make things happen. If you find yourself talking negative to yourself, then replace each negative with 5 positives. Wake up each morning with a list of 10 things you are grateful for. Everyone has at least 10. Name them each morning while you brush your teeth. Have a to do list of at least 3 things that will bring you closer to your goal. Map out a plan, a specific, very detailed plan. Remember, to put yourself on your to do list everyday. Your workout program, cardio session, yoga/relaxing session, whatever your suppose to do today. WRITE it down and DO IT! If you don’t schedule yourself in, you will be the first thing to be pushed aside…
I believe in you and I believe you can achieve every goal on your list. You have to want it and believe in it too. I’m always here if you need a pick me up or some motivational coaching, just call me or email me- I’ll always be in your corner!
