Do Something That Terrifies You Every Day
It has been said that twenty seconds of fear is all you need. If you are willing to confront fear for twenty seconds every day, you can change your life. So how does fear stop you?
If you take twenty seconds to make that phone call, ask that question, walk into that exercise class, post that picture, or share that dream, you’ll find that the anticipation was a lot more painful than the act itself.
Nike’s slogan is “Just do it.” for a reason. Just letting go of the fear that’s stopping you is half the battle. Most of the time, when you step out of your comfort zone you aren’t actually entering a dangerous situation. You’re stretching yourself. You’re growing. And that’s how you win health and happiness.
Fear can motivate you. I challenge you to post your weight loss goals on Facebook or other social media. As scary as this may be, you’ll be surprised with all the support you receive in return.
Reflect on Your Blessings Every Day
Gratitude changes everything. It is the root of the abundant mindset. When you adopt a grateful attitude you open yourself up to unlimited opportunity.
While defeat limits growth, gratitude uncorks it. Every time we reflect on our blessings we create a more fertile environment for a healthier, happier life. Positive things happen for positive people.
Rather than view your weight loss goal as a path paved with deprivation, be grateful for all the healthy foods you have available. Reflect on the incredible gift of health you are bestowing upon yourself with every healthy bite you take. This simple mindset shift will dramatically improve your outlook and improve your chances of success.
Let your gratitude for the blessings in your life motivate you to lose weight and be your best self.
