The Only Thing

What’s keeping you from what you want?

The only thing keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself.
~Tony Robbins

This afternoon, as I think about this “thing” that I’m trying to do, I also find myself thinking about “The Struggle.” Weight loss, fat loss, eating, all of it. It can really be hard.

 

But I’ve found myself thinking about WHY does it have to be that way? I don’t think it always had to be. Part of the “hardness” of any thing is in the judgement of it. That judgement is often based on one thing being compared to another thing.

 

You might say that wood is hard. But compared to steel, wood is soft. If you’ve never done any jogging, running 1 mile might be hard. For the seasoned runner, a mile is easy – a warm up.

My point here is that perception is everything.

I have often lamented why this particular journey (weight loss/fat loss) is hard, when it seems so easy for other people.

 

But if I stop and think…. there was a time when it was easier than this. And while it’s true that my biology has changed over the years and now presents me with a different set of circumstances – overall, the basic idea hasn’t changed that much… my opinions have.

 

So what if I thought “Easy“?
What if I thought “Effortless“?

What if I let go of the “…but…” so I can let go of my butt?

 

Acceptance. Allowance. Of the way things are. Not good. Not bad. Just are.

 

Wanting to … instead of needing to.
Excited … rather than drudgery.

Light, buoyant, freedom … instead of heavy burden.

 

What if I let go of the Story…
