This might sound odd..
But what if not being in the right head space was actually a good thing?
Hear me out…
I’ve not gone crazy (ok, just kidding, I am pretty crazy when compared to most)
You see, I was chatting to a few of the ladies last week on our 28 Day Kickstart (message me with ‘kickstart’ for more info) who asked
What to do when ‘your head is just not in the right space’…
Now, first off…
What does this actually mean?
How do you know if your head isn’t in the right space?
Secondly..
The most exciting part?
Is that they all came up with HOW they overcame this..
And although their focus was on what was negative about it…
“I was rubbish last week’
“I didn’t care’
“I couldn’t do it”
The great part about this
Was that they had got back to do the things they know they need to do..
My point?
Well, they answered their own questions..
You see, from ‘not being in the right headspace’
They lowered their expectations of what a ‘good’ day was…
No judgement of what they used to do when life was ‘normal’..
No judgement of whether ‘there is any point in doing 5 minutes of exercise’…
Because you know what?
If – right now – you grabbed a pen and paper
And put the title ‘what’s the point?’ at the top
Then write down every task where you thought ‘what’s the point?’…
It then becomes a choice..
You can answer the question of whether there is a point…
e.g.
what’s the point in 5 minutes of exercise today?
What’s the point in going for a walk at lunch time today?
What’s the point in stopping at 4 biscuits, I may as well have the rest”
^^^ they start to add up
And here’s the thing..
If you are NOT looking for what you are doing well
Then – by default – you are looking for the things you are not doing well.
And what you look for ..
You will find …
Energy flows where your attention goes.
And what if you could get results by doing less than you think?
The only difference was that you had to do this more consistently and for longer?
But there’s more…
How do you feel after doing this?
What feelings do you create?
And when you feel like this, who else is impacted?
I know the ladies always say to me about their kids, grandkids, and other half..
Getting up and down from the floor more easily again..
Making everyday tasks easier…
But also YOU..
What happens if you are more productive, and have more energy ?
Do you feel fitter and healthier?
Isn’t that exciting?
What could be different?
