3 Steps to Overcoming Obstacles

November 27, 2010 overcoming obstacles

“Obstacles are only temporary road blocks in the mind”~Dave Kovach


Think about this… You have this incredible opportunity to take first place in a 5k marathon, but the only obstacle that’s preventing this from happening is the thought of “can I really be in first place”?

As you’re half-way to the finish line, for some unknown reason, you start feeling tired, and begin thinking to yourself, well I guess second or third place will be OK.  But, what you don’t realize, over the bluff of the hill, there’s only 2 other people ahead of you, approximately 15 to 20 yards.

So, what’s the problem?

The only obstacle that’s preventing them from beating you is?

YOU!!!

It’s easy to let obstacles play tricks on your mind, especially during times of doubt.

Remember this… Your mind is very powerful, and if you’re determined to succeed, I don’t care if it’s a 5k marathon, or eating healthier to lose weight.  The fact is, if you want it bad enough and never ever let doubt stop what you really want, you’ll always succeed.

Follow these 3 steps for overcoming any obstacles which are hindering you to succeed.

  1. Be Determined- Truly believe in yourself that you can do it.
  2. Never Underestimate Yourself- But be truthful and not a phony.
  3. Never Ever Quit- You don’t always have to come in first place, but give it your best shot, and keep on plugging away until you reach the place where you want to be.

Here’s some more great advice from Shane Magee on overcoming obstacles.

Did you ever notice how some people find it very easy to stay on top of their game?  It’s pretty basic, it stems from their “mindset” by staying committed to the goals they set.

5 goal setting tips to follow for living healthier


Do You know the difference between Goal Setting and Wishing?

It’s so easy to wish to live healthier, but do you have what it takes to set goals and make it happen?

Here’s the difference between setting goals and wishing:

GOALS

  • require discipline,effort, and commitment.
  • are realistic outcomes, achievable

WISHES

  • don’t require commitment!

As you can see, it’s a lot easier to wish than to be committed.  Do you find yourself wishing for ways to eat healthier, but never follow through?

Do you realize how close you are to achieving your wishes into goals?  Very Close!

It’s all about having a positive mindset and truly believing in yourself.    Just by following through and making up your mind, you can turn any wish into an achievable goal.

How Bad Do You Want It?

Here’s a recap of the 5 quick and easy steps to follow for living healthier through goal setting:

  1. make a list of short-term and long-term goals
  2. make your goals in bite size pieces
  3. hold yourself accountable!!!
  4. start visualizing a healthier lifestyle
  5. JUST DO IT!!!  Don’t Make Anymore Excuses!

Positive Affirmations

August 15, 2010 positive affirmations

Your healthy lifestyle is determined by positive affirmations!

Karl Perera of More-Selfesteem.com has some great tips and resources on positive affirmations. Check out his sight, I believe you will be empowered by his writings.

Affirmations are created in your subconscious mind, and when repeated over and over again, they manifest your thoughts and desires outwards.  Simply, it will come to life!

There is both positive affirmations as well as negative ones.  Delete the negative affirmations before they even get a chance to engulf you.

You are the only one who determines how successful you will become in creating a healthier lifestyle by how you value yourself.

  • The more you value yourself, the faster the turn around will be.

Always use affirmations in the present tense.  How you see yourself today, not tomorrow.

  • I will eat healthy today!  This is the present tense.
  • I’ll start my diet tomorrow!  Not present tense.

Start doing activities to boost your confidence.  Make it a point to exercise, go out and buy yourself a new set of clothes, and of course, eating more healthier foods.  These are just some ways of making those positive affirmations come to life.

Quote by Napoleon Hill “whatever the mind of a man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

Hey boss, you have all of the goods inside of you.  The only step you have to take is the first one!

Developing Positive Habits

June 17, 2010 positive habits

Positive habits Should be part of your New Year’s Resolution.

Having a positive attitude means you don’t let anything get in your way of your goals. Everything you do reflects great accomplishments.

How many times did you find yourself making that new year’s resolution to start living a healthier lifestyle, but after a few days, you lost your motivation?

Why is it so easy to come up with these great ideas but you find that you never follow through, you forget the commitment you made to yourself?

At this moment you tell yourself “I’ll do it tomorrow, or my plate is full and I don’t have the time and then suddenly you realize the day never comes.

During the process of telling yourself that I’ll do it tomorrow such as eating healthier or exercising and not following through, you’re programing yourself to feel bad, and that’s what you remember. In turn, this causes you to remember a negative emotion.

The problem here is you will not remember it the next time because in reality you don’t want this negative emotion. Because you didn’t jump on the opportunity to make a change immediately, you procrastinated, now it’s even harder to follow through.

How many times did you make this resolution: “this year I’m going to eat healthier and start exercising”? You keep telling yourself you want to do this, but it never happens. This is how we are creatures of habit.

Even though you didn’t jump on your desires to better yourself, you still are following a repetitive pattern of not doing anything.

This causes you to feel real bad that your not committed to living a healthier lifestyle.

Now imagine if you actually follow through with what you really want to do, start feeling better about yourself and eat and exercise properly. This is developing a repetitive positive habits.

Dan Robey is an expert on this subject and has a great article on positive habits.  Dan goes into greater detail in his article at Selfgrowth.com.
