Excuses, excuses, excuses... I have heard and I hear them all. These excuses keep you from the goal at hand... to transform your body.
"I'm too tired."
"I don't know how."
"I've tried every diet in the book and failed."
"My knees and back ache too much."
"I don't have time."
"My family doesn't support me"
"I don't have the money."
"I'll never look like that so why bother."
"I'm too old."
Need I go on?
Are you making excuses? You say you want to transform your body yet you give every "reason" in the book and then some as to why you can't. Aren't you tired of excuses and ready to get results?
You know what I have learned through the years of helping people lose weight, get in shape, change their bodies and their lives? Most of those excuses are masks... generally masks that hide fear of some form. Fear of change. Even fear of achieving your goal and being who you have wanted to be for so long and never thought you could be. Fear who you might lose along the way. Fear of losing the familiar. Fear that you'll fail. Fear that you aren't worthy. FEAR... it will not allow you to transform your body as long as you continue to give it control with your excuses.
So, what do you do about it?
IDENTIFY IT
You have to know your enemy to overcome it. So, determine what you are afraid of. Look deep. Leave no stone unturned. Be honest, transparent, and authentic with yourself and name the demon.
FACE IT
Now it is time to look it in the eyes. Get mad and tell it to "Bug OFF". You have a goal... a goal to transform your body and your life and you are fed up with the delays that your fear driven excuses are causing.
TAKE ACTION
Now with that new courage coursing through your veins, get busy. No... resist the temptation for excuses again. Dig down deep and grab hold of the courage and make a determined decision to do this.
RESIST
Since you are taking action, those fears are going to get restless. They will find a way through your courage and conviction and will rear their ugly heads in order to deter you. They will throw obstacles at you from every direction. RESIST. Now is not the time for weakness, surrender and complacency. Now is the time to stand stronger than ever... more decided and determined. SAY "Hell No!"to the obstacles that fear is presenting and stay the course.
You are well on your way to transform your body. The breakthrough is near! I promise.
Today is the end of your excuses. Today is a new dawn, a new day... it is your day. Don't let it pass you by with excuses again. Seize the day, lay hold of the opportunity, embrace the chance to reach your goals and transform your body once and for all. Are you ready? If you are, I and my team are here to see you to success. Why? Because we believe YOU CAN DO THIS! No excuses.
