Stop Struggling!!!

I couldn’t find peace the other day. I was unsettled – couldn’t really put my finger on it - I was so annoyed – “things weren’t going my way!”

Then I realized:
my thoughts were garbage (“this isn’t working, I don’t like that…”)

I wouldn’t give up on my negativity – I was stuck on being stuck!

What you resist persists.

That is, what you push against will push against you.

If you are not at ease right now you are resisting something, not accepting it.

What are you not accepting?
Another person, Your job, Your situation, The weather, Your weight?

Much of what I was fighting was based upon faulty belief systems.
Here are some faulty beliefs that I uncovered with my clients:

-I can never reach my ideal weight because:
- “My family is heavy”
- “I just love food” (a VERY common one -)
- “I wouldn’t be able to eat my favorite foods.”
- “I would need to exercise all day.”
- ____ (add your faulty belief)

There is a better way out of the struggle – that works in EVERY area of your life!

3 STEPS TO PEACE:

Step 1: Accept
I accept that I am not where I want to be.
I accept that I am unsettled.
I accept, I accept, I accept.
“Accept” - keep at it until you feel peace - ACCEPT!

Step 2: Examine
What is the challenge I am facing?
What is my belief behind that situation or challenge?
Is my belief causing the problem more than the reality of the situation?

Step 3: ACT!
What step(s) can I take right now to address the problem?
One idea: “How can I see this in a different light?”
Does my attitude need to be “adjusted?”
Commit to doing something RIGHT NOW!
Just making the decision will make you feel better.
