Here we are, we made it to the end of another work week and another Quote of the Day. I honestly couldn’t tell you how many times I have tried to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. What I can tell you with absolute certainty is that it hasn’t been until my latest endeavor a few years ago that I was ever able to affect any meaningful and lasting change. Why has this last time been so magical? Easy. I finally tried to do something different. I generally approached every attempt from the same point with the same mindset and then I would get burnt out, frustrated or upset when I didn’t have better or different results. I am embarrassed to say that it never occurred to me that I kept ending up in the same place because I kept starting in the same place. The specifics of what I was going to try or the method, app, program, diet plan would change from attempt to attempt but my mindset never shifted. So I was in essence continually trying the same thing and desperately wishing for different results. It led me to a very negative and dark place. I had given up on myself, on being good enough, smart enough or strong enough to be able to successfully do this. Thankfully I was blessed to stumble into a different mindset and that has truly made all the difference. Take the opportunity today to do something different that can make all your tomorrows better. Have a blessed day, y’all! Stay safe, stay warm, enjoy another beautiful day and have a fun weekend.
