More excuses....

Ok, so there is more... I hear more reasons NOT to start or continue an exercise/wellness program than people actually doing it. Basically, you have to get out of your own way. YOU are in control of your life. I know that many of us (us because I do this too), let other people influence our thoughts and behaviors. But ultimately, we are in charge of ourselves. I recently read a book that was talking about controlling your thoughts--pushing the negative out and replacing with positive ones. We are so bad with our thoughts! I'm sure that you have heard that we are our own worst critics. How many times have you said to yourself "I'm so stupid.", "I'm so fat." or something to that effect? Negative, negative, negative!! Why do we need anyone else to criticize us when we do such a good job of it ourselves?! We have to start practicing self love. That goes for our thoughts, our choices, our behaviors--everything. You are the only one that can control your thoughts and your thoughts control your actions. So, if you have good thoughts then you can have good actions. Simple huh? Yeah, right. I know. I struggle with it too but if I keep hearing about it, reading it, maybe one day I can get it just right. I'm sure you can too...

I read a great analogy the other day. Basically it was talking about letting other people have the remote control to your life. Wake up call for me. How simple is that? Men barely let the women USE the remote control in the living room. Why would you give anyone the remote control to your life? Think about it....

Take back the remote and get back to the business of your life! Make better choices, put yourself first. Take control of your thoughts and take control of your actions. Change your body, change your life. Just do it!

NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!
