I wrote this awhile back...and thought I would copy and paste it just as a wake up call on those days I need a good kick!



The mindset:
Anyone is capable -- you are, so first get that in your head. How many people have come face to face with others who don't believe in you or said you can't or won't. YOU CAN!…and you can use it as a motivating tool to set yourself right. It all starts with the right mindset -- and goals.

People fall short when they don't believe in themselves. Let your mind guide your body….and let your body guide your mind. It's a cycle. You can have your body and mind, which is a powerful machine that leads you in any direction you want to go ….and why should anyone lead you off course from road you have already paved for yourself. Everyone has a personal road map. What's yours?

There will always be pitfalls along the way -- there always are, but if you look at them as just minor bumps in the road….than they are just that and will not stop you from moving forward. Sometimes, it is easy to get find reasons to want to avoid the discomfort of being slowed down, and while some of your personal speed bumps are justified….they should never be excuses to hold you back from what you want to accomplish, whether it be your career, your fitness and health goals or in your relationships.

The most important thing is to never feel like you are being selfish for wanting to do something for yourself. YOU ARE WORTH IT! We can all come up with an endless running lists of all the reasons why we can or can't do something for ourselves. I say buck up……because if you don't do it now, the opportunity may never present itself again and then before you know it, you turn around and in a mere split second that opportunity may be lost. Snap it up when you get the chance and give yourself permission to allow yourself to live witho regrets.

I consider these things:

~ Find time to do it! (whatever it is that you chose to do)

~ Find a balance

~ Educate yourself -- knowledge is power and power is change. ~ Tony Horton

~ Believe in yourself!

~ You can do ANYTHING if you have the right mindset to fight until you get it!

~NEVER GIVE UP!

~ Don't give into excuses…..they are monkeys on your back that contribute to you only fall short from you reaching your dreams and aspirations.

~ Most importantly -- JUST BREATHE!
