It's all in your head

I was talking to a woman recently who was having some health issues. She had made some lifestyle changes several months ago and, since making these simple shifts, her health has been improving and she consistently lost weight over several months. She felt great and yet, as we were talking one day, she said if she wanted to be healthy she had to start running. Huh? Your health is improving, your weight is down and the doctor is thrilled with you. Why on earth do you have to start running to get what you already have?

It was simply a story in her head. Over her lifetime she had come to believe that in order to be healthy she had to be doing a standard gym work-out. This isn't true, and she knows it because she'd already proven it. She was living proof that what she was doing, the lifestyle she was living, was healthy for her.

So as you are going about following your dreams or creating a change in your life consider this: If you are pushing to do something it may not really be necessary. There really might be a better way that fits you perfectly. The belief it has do be done a certain way might only be in your head.

Action: Listen to yourself when you are talking and double check to see if the things you say are true or if it's really just a story in your head. Be open to possibilities.
