Getting Past What Holds You Back with Baby Boomer Weight Loss Expert Scott 'Q' Marcus
We cannot “command respect,” it is given to us by others who admire what we do.
By regularly doing what I way I will do – and doing it with dignity and compassion, I will have no choice but to earn the respect of others.
Today, I will accept the fact that the only way for mistakes to be avoided is to remain stagnant.
Whereby that will prevent me from making errors, it will also prevent me from the possibility of enjoying my life, as well as growing. I will therefore move forward, fully aware of the fact that the unexpected can – and most likely will – happen, but that I can handle them when they do..
If we expect that in order to be “happy,” we must always be happy, we will only be disappointed.
If – at the end of the day – we can say we were happy more times than we were not, then indeed we are happy. If that is not the case, we need to take a look at why we are not and make changes to become so.
Happiness is my choice. No one makes me happy – and no one can take it from me.
It’s never too late – nor too early – to begin again.
Progress, by its very definition, is not a linear process. We move forward, we fall down, we get back up again. Each time we slip up, it means we’ve tried something new. We need to congratulate ourselves for that.
Therefore, the more progress we make, the more times we will fall down. What matters is how long it takes us to get back up again.
Today, I will re-commit myself to something I want that I had previously stopped pursuing. I will take one small step. I will congratulate myself for my persistence. I am proud of the fact that I keep going.
Our thoughts lead to our actions. Our actions become our lives.
If something in your life is consistently NOT the way you expect it or want it to be, it’s time to take a look at the actions in your life. However, it’s important to do so without “beating yourself up.” Accept that the old action was simply the best way you knew how to do something – until now. Now that you know more, you will choose to do something different.
Reward yourself for what you tried – and then let it go (without blame)
Today, I will evaluate the results of my behaviors with appreciation for the intention and honesty in the results.
