If Not You, then Who?

In beginning your transformation, you not only have to eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep. You must make room in your mind for the good stuff. We must clean your mental house. Get rid of all of the old junk that you keep up there. I am talking about all of the old scripts that you tell yourself. “You cannot lose this weight. This is ridiculous. Why are you wasting your time. You are not worth it, go home.” You must make new scripts to tell yourself. At first you won’t believe them but, act as if you do. The optimist creed and the serenity prayer are my two favorites. When the world seems like it is against you, it helps to read these over and over to yourself.

The Optimists Creed

Promise Yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to everyone who you meet

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true

To think only of the best

To work only for the best and to expect only the best

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others just as you are about your own

And to forget the mistakes of the past and to press on to the greater successes of the future

To wear a cheerful attitude every day and to give every living creature you meet a smile

To give so much time to the improvements of yourself that you have NO time to criticize others

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence to trouble!

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world

Not in loud words, but in great deeds

To live in faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

If you do not think yourself worthy of that promotion, a happy healthy family, your dream house, or that killer figure, who will think it then? Remember we have to fill ourselves up with all of the “good” stuff that we can. Good stuff as in spiritual things, sleep, correct diet, exercise, and quiet time. The world will just fill you up with garbage if you let it. You can choose what you believe to be true. You can let in the good and repel the bad. You choose if that person can crush your spirit or not. You choose if you have that over indulgence of wine or food. You choose if you yell at your family. We are truly the creators of our own destiny. Go by this rule.

Lord grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change

to change the things that I can

and the wisdom and power to know the difference.

Good Luck with your transformation starting from the inside out. Remember stay strong and persevere. I am always listening.
