It's Monday Again - POSTED ON: Sep 26, 2011
It's Monday Again. They come every week. ...right after Sunday
A new day.
A fresh start.
I am energized once again to work at eating only the amount that my body needs to maintain it's current weight ...or maybe to lose some of it. Funny how that happens.
Committment - POSTED ON: Sep 25, 2011
Commitment is sticking with something, long after the mood you were in when you made it, leaves you.
Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.
Words speak boldly of our intentions. But our Actions speak far louder than our words.
Commitment is making the time when there is none. Performing the action when you’d rather not. Coming through time after time, after time, year after year, after year.
Commitment is the stuff character is made of; it’s the power to change things.
It is the daily triumph of the positive over the negative... ….of Trust over doubt and fear.
Lacking Inspiration? - POSTED ON: Sep 24, 2011
Lacking Inspiration?
Me too !!! There are days when I don't feel particularly inspired. The main thing I have to say is that I don't feel a need to say much today.
Is that a bad thing? I don't think so.
For those who are following my “Ask Grandma” videos click to see my latest one: “ My Mother Doesn't Love Me” which is located in DietHobby under RESOURCES, Videos, Ask Grandma.
Make sure it's YOUR goal. - POSTED ON: Sep 23, 2011
Make sure it’s YOUR goal.
It is easy to get caught up, and swept along in the current of other people’s goals, values, and expectations. We can wind up doing things that we don’t want to do in order to get something we don’t even want to have.
It’s a big mistake to choose things that we feel we “should” do… things prompted by family, friends, or society in general.
There are very few things in life that we really have to do, so when a person ends end up with a bunch of goals that other people have set for them, it’s time to start thinking about what YOU would really like to do.
Don’t set arbitrary goals just because you think you should. There’s not much joy to be had in chasing a goal that you don’t care about. Chances are, you’ll give up part-way and feel guilty, or you’ll reach the goal, only to find that success doesn’t make you any happier.
We need to spend some time in thought so we can say:
“I stand here. This is what is important to me. This is where I will direct my life’s efforts. My direction is here.”
Then we need to start doing the things that will move us in that direction.
I Think I Can - POSTED ON: Sep 22, 2011
Our minds are powerful. Not only does the brain control all of the body’s functions, movements and reactions, it also allows us to emote, remember, and think.
Our thoughts are also powerful. Lots of research shows that positive thinking can help people be happier, while negative thinking can make us feel bad, reduce our self-worth, and diminish our chances of reaching our goals.
If we don’t really believe we are capable of something, we are less likely to try. We create our own self-fulfilling prophecy.
Like Henry Ford said: “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re probably right.” I work to keep my brain from getting in the way of my goals. We can achieve amazing things, but we have to believe in ourselves, even if no one else does.
Or, at the very least, stop telling ourselves that we “can’t or that we’ll fail again “just like we did before”. A past failure at weight-loss, maintenance, or anything else doesn’t dictate the future this time. If anything, it makes us wiser and stronger for what’s ahead.
