We live a constant every day battle with ourselfs. Your mentality shapes your reality so why do we run when things seem to get to tough to handle? Why do we think we can patch things up by putting a band-aid over it? I want you to think about this for a minute. What is the first thing you think about when you had a very stressful week? What is the first thing on your mind when your kids are driving you insane? What is your answer to weight gain?
Let me help you to your obvious answers. You think, I need a vacation, I need a babysitter, I need some more sleep, I need a diet. Am I close, did I hit the bullseye!
Do you really think that by taking a vacation that the stress will disappear when you get home or that your kids will behave after a night out with the girls? Do you think that a diet is a permanent solution to weight gain or that by taking a bunch of naps things are going to fix themselves? What are you thinking!!! Get real. It doesn't happen that way, however, we like to think that it does.
Does it make things easier? Yes it does, for the time being, but what happens when reality sets in. What is your solution then, to take another vacation?
A band-aid will not work.
First....Stop blaming others and be responsible for your own actions. Forgive yourself no one is perfect. We live to learn so......Take action. When we can control what we think we control our reality. Break free of bad habits. Step out of your comfort zone.
Challenge yourself to try a new heathier recipe if your overweight. Talk to your kids, spend more time with them. Consider their concerns, don't be so quick to misjudge them by their age. Don't be so quick to convince yourself that it can not be done. You are what you think you are, and..... You can do what you think you are cabaple of. Think outside the box, and make it your life.
A comfort Zone is what is known to you, its what you are used to. They are unfamiliar to you for a purpose. If you won't step out of those boundaries then it will take you that much longer and that much more difficult to get beyond those challenges. Perhaps it is the way you think, so change the way you think and you'll never have to put a band-aid on anything. It is important you understand that what you are doing now isn't working and it isn't going to change by covering it with a band-aid. You know the meaning for insanity right? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Get rid of the band-aid and step into your reality!! Risks are meant to be taken. So you may get hurt a little but you can't keep yourself covered with a band-aid forever. Now is the time to remove it!
