When we decide to lose weight we tell the universe, “All right, I am ready!” The universe feels your energy and you have all of this motivation to treat yourself with self care. You decide to try tennis lessons, you start cooking more, you give up your caffeine habit, or whatever else serves you at that time. You probably notice a weight loss, “Yay, it’s working!!” Then something happens. The scale might just stop working with you and show you a gain. Maybe your excuses start to become louder and more frequent and you stop going to tennis. Perhaps your limiting beliefs convince you to stop cooking often. Whatever the case may be your fabulous weight loss plan has now ceased and you are left angry with yourself. Why? Why does this happen?
For the same reason that I continue to stop myself from getting to the next level in my business. My old story, the story that says, “you are not supposed to be successful, you are not supposed to be rich, you are supposed to struggle,” starts playing again. Your story, the story that says, “you don’t like exercise, you love fast food, you aren’t good at lifting weights, if you don’t do an hour it’s not worth anything”—all of these old stories start playing, and then we listen. As soon as we listen, we align our energy back into this lack thinking, and then all we attract is lack.
Listen to your story. What story is playing? The “You’re worthless, addicted to food, and hate exercise” story? Or the “I know I am worth more, I love and accept myself, and I will succeed my goals” story? When you lose motivation, ask yourself what story is playing. You control which life you want to live out, I choose a life of abundance, how about you?
