Momentum can only get you so far. It's exciting to start new things but how do you stick to it? This is the longest I've ever been committed to losing weight. This has been the only time its "worked." My journey is far from over however, things feel blurry. I can't seem to focus. I'm hoping this will soon end because I do not have time to waste. There so much depending on my success and for once I cannot let myself down.
Part of my problem as I was discussing with my husband the other day is that I really don't think I know how to self motivate. It's difficult to pat myself on the back and tell myself "you've got this," "who cares if you can't breathe finish the run," "who cares if you're in pain, push through" and actually believe it. Why is it easier to believe that you'll fail than to believe you'll succeed?
How do you stay focused? Doesn't necessarily have to be on weight loss but on any personal goals? Do you find it difficult to focus on yourself? I do. It's hard to juggle putting yourself first when you feel so many people/things are depending on you.
On your priority list, do you often come in last?
Oh yes, I definitely have trouble focusing on myself, but I made a list of my goals that I printed and tacked to the bulletin board above my desk. Seeing it every day always helps keep me motivated. :)
ReplyDeleteManny says.......Nothing is possible if you don't belive in who you are. And you have every right to beleive that you are as great as you want to be. Its up to you to believe and have faith in yourself. I was taught that you can see the Lord in each person's heart...You need to be able to find God not in your life around you but inside of you....realize that he is in your heart. There you will find faith. It is then that you will believe and push through. We all get distracted and loose focus from time to time but you must be able to dig deep and believe that you got this. It will be at that point when you can look at negativity in the face NO.
