Hesitation. Self doubt. Lack
of commitment. I understand where that comes from. I feel at least one of those
feelings daily. Trying to overcome and move forward from those dark thoughts
can be a challenge. Starting anything new whether it’s starting an exercise
program, a new job, a new blog, etc can be extremely intimidating. Fear of
failure or even a fear to just get started can be overpowering. Never
underestimate the power of your own mind good or bad. When I start to
feel like things won’t go my way, I try to think about ways I can
start, succeed, and stay committed.
I, like many of you, always had to battle being overweight. I still am so I totally get where you’re
coming from. Starting a new workout program can be a daunting task. How do I
start? What do I do? The way to start anything is research, research,
research. Research gyms, research
workouts, research what people of your body type are doing to help themselves. Before
I start anything I research the heck out of it. Research enough to feel
comfortable to start but not so much where you find yourselves hesitating
again. It boils down to not so much learning to fail but actually failing to
learn. Knowledge is
power.
Start slow. The little voice
inside your head can hurt you if you give into it. This is why I love small victories. To do something and, after some work, achieving it. It doesn’t get better than
that. Small victories silence that voice. Small victories lead to bigger
victories and before you know it you’re getting closer to achieving the
ultimate victory. Everybody has self doubt at one point in time or another but
how we overcome it separates us from winning or losing.
I choose to win.
Building on small victories
helps your commitment to your goals. The road might be long but when the self
doubt hits, reflect on those small victories. We all have this power to succeed
and we all have the power to fail. The small victories springboard you to being
totally committed to staying on track. Feeling good and looking good are powerful
motivators to staying committed.
Whatever I choose to
accomplish I adopt this circle of success. It’s a daily task but one that comes
easily over time. The road will be difficult. Nothing worth anything comes
easy. It takes time and effort but it will be worth it in the end. Keep at it
and never look back.
Thanks for reading!
