Two words. I can’t.
“I can’t do (that), so it would be a waste of time.”
Define (that) because we say this to ourselves every day with various different (thats).
I don’t know how to eat healthy, so I’ll just continue as is. I wouldn’t be good at exercise, so I’m not even going to start. I can’t seem to lose weight because I’ve done everything, so I just stopped trying anything different.
If our kids kept saying this, wouldn’t we put a stop to it? But yet we say this stuff to ourselves all the time. We talk to ourselves internally in a different way than we would ever verbalize or be “ok” with anyone else saying.
We are our own worst enemy. 🤦🏻♀️
But that can change. Every time you have a negative thought, think about something positive you can do.
I don’t know how to eat healthy, but I’m willing to learn. I wouldn’t be good at exercise, but I’m going to park farther away to get in more steps. I can’t seem to lose weight, so I think I’m going to really examine why.
As a coach, I not only educate and motivate others, I also have to calm down those negative thoughts and help you replace them with positive affirmations that lead you to succeed. 💁🏻♀️
