If feeling happy, powerful, confident, and successful was a matter of “thinking positive”, “getting’ er’ done!”, and motivation, we would all be walking around high on life.
If having your ideal body really was as simple as “Eat less, move more”, we would all be walking around looking like Cameron Diaz.
You most likely don’t really have time, energy, or opportunity ‘problems’.
You most likely don’t have a food problem, or an exercise problem, or a laziness problem.
And no one is truly lacking motivation, willpower, or actively self-sabotaging themselves. Even if it feels like this is true.
You are simply carrying too much ‘weight’ on your mind, your body, and your heart.
weight (n.): downward force of body, heaviness, burden, mass
weight (v.): to load with weight
weigh (v.): measure, carry, bear, move
- It’s the weight of the plans and programs and promises that suck the life out of you are aren’t practical for your life
- It’s the weight of the shame, blame, guilt, comparison, and perfectionism that makes you feel unhappy, uneasy, and underwhelmed with what you’re doing or who you’re being.
- It’s the weight of a physical body that stresses you out, causes you pain, or keeps you from feeling fully connected to yourself.
It’s the weight of the weight.
It’s heavy! It’s expensive! And it sucks the life out of you!
It keeps you from feelng JOY, PLEASURE, and CONNECTION.
It keeps you STUCK.
That’s what needs to be measured. That’s what needs to be quantified. That’s what needs to get the boot.
Ditch the weight of the weight, and your life, your heart, and your body will feel LIGHTER.
