Getting Past What Holds You Back with Baby Boomer Weight Loss Expert Scott 'Q' Marcus
We accomplish more when we compare ourselves to our starting point, rather than to how far we must still travel. When we look down a road without an “end,” we feel defeated and tend to give up, feeling it’s futile to continue. Rather, look at how far you’ve traveled and the sense of accomplishment will help propel you forward yet again.
Today, I will acknowledge the changes I am making, no matter how small.
I’ve done so many videos with kittens and babies, that it’s nice to do one about elderly folks.
This is a delightful video about an elderly couple who walks into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. As it turns out, they’ve been married for 62 years (he’ll be 90). Check out the impromptu performance – and notice the little switcheroo/grab-her-behind maneuver he does a few times.
It’s actually a very simple formula to move forward when stuck.
Step one: Determine where you’re headed.
Step two: Take one step in that direction.
Step three: Adjust for barriers (emotional & physical)
Step four: Repeat as necessary.
The biggest problem we face is NOT that we cannot do it, but that we make the goal unrealistic.
Pick 1 thing (not several), make it Small enough that there’s no objection in your mind to doing it, make sure you do it Today.
No one person can know everything she needs to know.
One of the reasons we build communities, develop friendships, and even marry; is because we are social beings. We need to be with others. That is not just a “comfort thing,” it is also a “support thing.”
There is no shame in learning. As a matter of fact, whom do you respect more; someone who doesn’t know what he’s doing and refuses to get help, or someone who recognizes she needs help – and asks for it?
If you don’t know how to do something, reach out to someone who does. Be respectful of her time. Thank her for it when you’re done.
Note: Every Monday, a new motivational memo is posted. Subscribers to ThisTimeIMeanIt.com’s coaching service get this – and many more benefits – sent to them directly. If you’d like to know more, follow this link.
Today is Mary Ann and my 11 year anniversary. In honor of that, I wanted something inspirational that was tied to marriage. If you have not seen this video, it’s five minutes of absolute delight. Enjoy.
By the way, according to a post on blog.koldcast.tv entitled The Ten Best Wedding Videos Since the Invention of YouTube
The JK Wedding Entrance Dance is arguably the most popular of all wedding dance videos. The couple married on June 2, 2009 and released the video that July. Within 48 hours, the video was viewed 3.5 million times. To date, it’s been viewed close to 60 million times. That’s like inviting Italy to come see your wedding. The video features the entire wedding party dancing their way to the altar to Chris Brown’s Forever. The couple was invited to talk about the phenomenon on The Today Show and even did an encore there.
By the way, at their site, they are thanking people for the amazing response by donating to the fight against domestic violence. Kudos.
