Fear wears many disguises. Some of these
are laziness, procrastination, excuses, perfectionism, avoidance, and self-sabotage. These all involve plenty of fear. What do some of these look like in real life?
1. We tell ourselves we will start when _________ happens.
Of course, it never does.
2. We tell ourselves it's going to be way too much work and we don't start.
3. We may set the bar so high that we're terrified of failing, so we don't start.
4. We tell ourselves it's going to be way too time consuming and we don't have that kind of time.
5. We're afraid to make mistakes and as soon as we make one or have a setback, we
quit.
6. We do really well for awhile, but we're afraid of failing or being successful, so we begin to self-sabotage by overeating.
7. We're really afraid to do the things we say we'll do once we lose weight, so as we get close to realizing our goal, we overeat and begin to backslide.
8. We don't try again because we've tried many times before and failed, and why is this time going to be any different?
When we allow fear to run our lives, we are aligned with and living our fears and not our dreams. How sad! This is our one and only life.
Do we want to inspire others
by our example?
Or do we want to live with regret about how we surrendered to fear, and therefore hid from life?
It's your choice.
Let's choose life!
My wish for you is to
live fearlessly and fabulously! Let nothing hold you back, especially your weight. Don't let that become your excuse for an unlived life. Get out there and live large!
Blessings,
