What excuses are you believing?

I promise, you will see the evidence of them in your life.

For years, I believed that I was not capable of losing weight because I was big boned and genetically predisposed to being over weight. I have an autoimmune disease. I am getting older. I hate working out. I’ve never been able to do it before. I don’t have the time or energy, etc.

Even if the excuse was technically true(like my autoimmune disease), the truth is that each one of those excuses was just a thought, a sentence formed in my brain that was keeping me stuck, overweight and unhealthy.

So I had a choice to make…did I want to believe and focus on all of my excuses and get the same results year after year or did I want to believe and focus on all of the possibility and create something different for myself?

I obviously chose to focus on the possibilities instead of the excuses(I lost 90lbs) but it’s not just a one and done kind of thing. With each excuse that came up, I had to recognize it and then decide if I was going to allow it to come between me and my goals or not.

What did I want more? My excuse to be true or my goal to be possible?

And now that I’m at my goal weight and working towards new goals and dreams, there are new excuses that my brain comes up with like…I don’t like working out and I will never be a gym person. I’m too tired and I’m not seeing results fast enough. Also, I am not good at social media or selling and building a successful business is taking forever.

You guys, the excuses will always be there but you don’t have to believe or focus on them. 

What do you want more? Your excuses or your goals? You can’t have both!
