YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES
TO CONTROL YOUR MIND OR LET YOUR MIND CONTROL YOU
When I read this quote, I couldn’t help but think of so many of you. When we feel mentally weak it’s so easy for us to let our thoughts take control of who we are and what we want. It becomes a snowball in our life to let our thoughts about food and drink affect our actions and in return affect life in a negative way. When our thoughts take control it can make us depressed and sad… it can turn any day into a bad one. It’s the time that we feel mentally weak that we choose to let our guard down and we begin to self sabotage with unhealthy choices and actions. These are the choices that affect not only us but everyone important in our life.
The reason I felt so strongly about writing this today is because it’s an easy time to let your thoughts control your actions. I have had many different conversations with clients in the past couple of weeks. Thousands of emails and text messages and they all come down to one thing — why do we go off program when we know being on program makes us feel so much better. The answer is very simple … Weight loss is hard and today with our “new normal” we have insecurities and doubts on our heels at all times just ready to take us down and wipe away any success that we have worked so hard for. But if we really think about it— quarantine or no quarantine the temptations and doubts are always there. You can’t wait for the perfect time because a perfect time to do the right thing may never come. You have to make it the perfect time. Yo have to choose what you want and give it your 100% toward it and you have to be consistent — when you do that is when you make it the right time for you. Because we all know at anytime temptation and doubt can sway you from doing good to bad. When that happens you have to be strong…. you have to walk away…. you have to remind yourself what makes you happy and then you follow through with what you know is the right thing because it’s what you want.
The second thing I want you to focus on today is how important it is for YOU to control your mind and thoughts and keep them mentally strong. Because when we are mentally strong we feel like we can accomplish anything. We force ourselves to do the right thing and control what we want and who we become. Regardless of how much temptations is around us we choose to be healthy and happy and stay that way. We wake in the morning with the 100% intention to be positive, feel amazing and do the right things and thats what we do. Day and night our mental strength controls our actions and our actions control our thoughts to stay happy, healthy and fit. But this will only take place if you make the effort everyday to control your mind and thoughts and keep them both in a healthy positive place. When you put the extra effort in I promise it’s worth the results.
Today start by focusing on feeling good, and to feel good you have to eat healthy and on program. Focus on exercise because it gives you energy and strength. Focus on accomplishing your everyday tasks at home. Make a list and focus on getting it done. Be a good person, listen to your children, talk to your parents, and put positive effort and time into your significant other. Make the priorities in your life based around the most important things — your health, your family, your home, your happiness — because at the end of the day that is really all that matters.
