Transformation Starts on the Inside

Transformation Starts on the Inside

Your mind must be convinced that it needs to look for the end results.  That's why I set a 90 day challenge for myself.  Even though it's a lifestyle change, having goals gives me a forward focus and helps me gauge my progress.

Once the mind is convinced of something-anything-it seeks evidence to prove itself right and craves the supporting actions.  If I told myself that I will never lose weight, get a better job, make more money...the subconscious will focus on these things and seek evidence to make it true.

That's why daily affirmations, intentions, visualizations and goals are so very important.  It will constantly refocus you to look at where you want to go despite where you might be.

Now, sometimes you're going to have unmet goals.  But that's where gratitude exercises and forgiveness comes in to play.  We all have those off days.  We all have challenges and obstacles.  ALL OF US!  It's important to focus on what is right and going well. Forgive yourself for what didn't go as planned or when you have a mental or physical breakdown.  Then, let it go.  It serves no useful purpose to hold on to the dead weight.

Another vital component in a transformatio journey is SUPPORT.  A support system will celebrate your wins with you, give you a pat on the back when you struggle and extend a hand when you've fallen.  True support provides constructive criticism...helpful advice and suggestions.  As well as a shoulder to lean on when you're weary.

Nobody is perfect.  We all have our faults, struggles, challenges and even addictions.  Knowing you're not alone is a tremendous relief.

Last night I did an exercise for my mind.  I created a transformation short list.

From overweight to 125#

From smoker to non-smoker

From sloth to exercising 3-5 x a week

From broke to 6 figure income earner

From in debt to debt-free

From homeless to home owner

From p/t mom to f/t mom

From nobody to mindset & wellness maven

From trapped to total freedom

From stressed to blessed

From struggling to happy

I let it flow and that was the list I created.  I have a long way to go but I feel confident.  More confident than I have in a long time.  I feel totally aligned for a change, not just partially aligned in this way or that.

I believe in myself.

I believe in you.

I'm rooting for you

hope you're rooting for me too.
