Only you have the power to eliminate the fears, self-imposed limitations, and obstacles that are standing in your way of being YOU!
What holds you back from losing the weight? What creates the anxiety or depression?
These are tough questions! Seriously, I have been in your shoes.. it's okay to not know in the moment. Sometimes it takes time to look back to understand the answers to these questions. But you know what can get you one step further from that situation, self-improvement.
Self-improvement has the energy and strength behind it to propel you right over that obstical! I start with a quote.. just one quote I can tell myself to overcome "the funk." #loveyourself
The above quote is from one of my favorite songs "Crazy" by Lost Frequencies. I have been known to blast it on my way home from a rough bike race or two.
Oh Lord Hear me turn these words into a song For them to sing along to when I'm gone For them to sing along to when I'm gone Oh Lord Let me be the one to set 'em free I will give 'em every part of me Put my heart where everyone can see They can call me whatever they want Call me crazy You can call me whatever you want But that won't change me I just don't care what the world says I'm gonna make it They can call me whatever they want So what if I am crazy? Crazy Oh Lord This is so much harder than I thought But I will give 'em everything I've got One day I am gonna prove them wrong
Oh Lord Let me be the one to set them free I will give them every part of me Put my heart where everyone can see They can call me whatever they want
Call me crazy
You can call me whatever you want
But that won't change me
I just don't care what the world says
I'm gonna make it
They can call me whatever they want
So what if I am crazy
Crazy
Lyrics are powerful for me, they always have been. Listening to a good tune can help me overcome emotions and stress that I didn't think I could get through. It was listening to music while I pushed myself to run ¼ a mile months after I hit the highest weight of my life. Yes, you read that correct ¼ a mile. That was all I could do, and it was enough.
It was enough to propel me out of my sadness, to come back and do it the next day.
I made a plan, I wrote it down, got a calendar, tracked my calories and measurements.. It took me being accountable to MYSELF to make it happen. It didn't happen over night, it took months.. and honestly I'm still a work in progress. We all are!
So the big take away.. there are emotional obstacles to over come in self-improvement, but if you're here reading and feeling this now, you're already looking at it in the review mirror!
