I remember being a kid…
Using a naughty word
And getting a ‘watch your language’..
And never did I realise just how important language was…
I mean, ever said:
“I should drink more water”
“I should eat that really but..”
“I should exercise more”
“I should go for a walk”
How do you feel when you say this?
Sounds a bit like hard work right?
Like you have sooo much to do.
Now let’s switch to it:
“I get to drink more water”
“I get to eat more veg”
“I get to exercise more”
“I get to go for a walk”
“I get to go to bed early”
Because all of these things
Give you:
More energy
More strength
Make everyday tasks easier
Make you more toned
I could go on.
And these are the things you want, right?
So my challenge to you is to switch:
SHOULD to GET.
It’s a reminder that you have a choice.
And we could go deeper.
Rather than ‘there is nothing I can do about it”
Change to
“What COULD I do?”
Rather than “why does this happen to me”
Change to
“What does this happen FOR me”
What you say
How you talk to yourself..
Impacts what you do!
Just like when you say “I am lazy” yet you have just done xyz and looked after everyone else.
Is that you are lazy? Or is that you don’t prioritise health and fitness?
