What happened today that you could easily pinpoint as a weak moment SA国际影视传媒� a moment you wish you could take back?
Stuck to my laptop are the words 'what will you do better tomorrow?' Every single time I read this, I have an answer. We all know where our weak points are and defaults. It's so easy to go into our comfort zones and do what our bodies know best even if it's a toxic situation.
Top weak points I hear most often in my practice are:
-I lost my cool with my kids and shouted
-I had a crummy day so threw my diet out the window
-It was cold out and I skipped the gym
-I was afraid to say no so I ate something I knew my body would react to
-I let a coworker pile more work on my plate and now I'm more overwhelmed
-I was stressed out and drank too much last night
-I went to bed late because the movie I was watching was too good and now I'm exhausted and missed my workout
I've done it. You've done it. We all have wishes for do-overs. There's a fine point between thinking about it and actually doing it. This is your pivot point.
What happened yesterday that you wish you could have a do over of? What lesson did you learn, and what will you do differently next time?
As you may notice, everything that happens begins with a thought. Your mindset dictates that knee-jerk response and the end outcome. What did you tell yourself as you stared out the window at the cold blustery day, knowing that in 30 minutes you need to be at the gym? What justification did you talk yourself into as you ordered the extra large burger and extra fries? What excuse did you give yourself as you hit snooze on your alarm and missed your morning self-care regime you carefully laid out the night before?
You cannot be successful at your goals if you're skipping out based on your default thoughts. Changing the way you think takes noticing your natural tendencies then practicing rewriting the stories you're telling yourself.
Every time you default to your comfort zone, write it down. Ask yourself what excuse your brain told you as an easy out. Debunk it. Write out all the reasons you should be following through and the benefits. You will notice a pattern that's unique to you.
Pivoting from an old go-to to a new one will be challenging. Keep pivoting, keep training your brain, and watch the success that follows.
