What Do Your Thoughts Really Cost You?

Your brain is filled with so many sentences, and many are so ingrained you just think they are “truth”, and often go unquestioned.  If you want to make changes in your life you need to begin believing new things in advance - before even seeing them.  Wayne Dyer says, “I will see it when I believe it”. Most of us operate on the opposite thought, and it can be quite challenging to achieve something if you don’t believe it to be possible. We constantly sabotage ourselves in accomplishing our dreams.  It is especially challenging to change thoughts and beliefs about yourself.  You may currently think “I’m just that kind of person”, “I can’t do that”, “I’m not good at this”.  Pay attention to your feelings when you think these thoughts - they will typically be negative and drive drive your actions to accomplish new goals. 

Your belief system is creating your life. The fantastic news is that as a human you have the ability to manage your mind, and create beliefs that serve you. You can choose to keep a crappy belief system, or replace it with a good one which will give you the results you deserve. It will seem odd at first, and you must continuously practice the new thoughts in order to replace the ones you’ve been telling yourself for years. Once you begin to dismantle the thoughts you’ve had and create new ones, your brain will want to tell you things like - that’s a terrible idea, it will never work, we will die if we try! Just notice it - become a watcher of your brain and the self doubt - know that it is natural. It is natural to occur, but you don’t have to stay victim to it. 

Do you believe you can’t be successful in drinking less or losing weight? Do you want to believe that? Often times we don’t even realize we are choosing to think this because our self doubt tricks us into believing it is just reality. Why don’t we take a moment and start doubting our self doubt? Fascinating idea right? If you want to become thinner, healthier, more in control of your drinking  you must be able to move past the self doubt. We are not entitled to an easy life, and if you want true growth there will be uncomfortable feelings - but you can handle uncomfortable.

I encourage you take time to see what is going on in your mind this week.  If you want to disbelieve something you have to first recognize that you have accepted something as true and DECIDE to change your mind about it.  Most of us are in a default believing and thinking mode.  We are just replaying beliefs that have been programmed and practiced.  What we believe and focus our mind on is a choice.  It’s time to be more deliberate if you want to make a change.  When you decide to believe you can weigh less and drink less you will feel more empowered and in control of taking your life to the next level.  You totally got this sister!
