Getting Past What Holds You Back with Baby Boomer Weight Loss Expert Scott 'Q' Marcus
Negative moods are caused by “stuck thoughts.” When that happens, get up for a few minutes and change your environment. Spend some time walking or call a friend or just breathe deeply. Change your focus – even if it’s only for a short time.
When we get sad, we are focusing on the past. When we get frightened, we are focusing on the future.
Although this is very simple, it’s not as easy as it seems.
Do not complain about politics, the weather, bad drivers, inconsiderate people, high prices, or traffic. Do not disparage customers, clerks, or those with opposing views. Do not think negative thoughts about co-workers, friends, or family.
Most importantly, do not berate yourself for where you are in life or where have you yet to go. Do not put yourself down for your mistakes, your accomplishment, or your appearance.
Try it for one day.
If you can’t walk, stand up for a few minutes each hour. If you can’t stand, move your arms and hold in your stomach.
Not only does getting out of your chair help you stay (or get) fit, but it burns a few calories, it reduces bone loss, and it holds back a myriad of diseases.
(Try it the next time you’re upset. You’ll see that’s correct.)
Make sure your priorities stay top-of-mind.Not everything is equally important.
One of the main reasons we don’t move forward is we forget that we cannot do everything all the time. We stress ourselves out thinking of how much we have to do. We then get overloaded and shut down.
As yourself if anyone will really know or care about this event five years from now.
