Info

Don’t start listing all the reasons you can’t. “But the shows are so good, andI’m so tired after work,” or “I need the small pleasures to keep me going”.If you can’t even stop watching TV long enough to get your life together, youobviously don’t want to change. That’s basic shit. It’s the bare minimum, tobe honest.So what will it be? Netflix or a better paying career? Donuts or a body youcan be proud of? Video games or a loving relationship?If eating out every day makes you feel like crap, why are you still doing it?And every time you think you “can’t” stop, that’s just another excuse. Youcan. You can, and you will. Stop buying yourself off. Stop letting yourinternal condition dominate the quality of your life. Take back the wheel.If you continue to be led by your emotions, you’ll only be left with regret.You’ll eventually live that vision, lying on your death bed and thinking “whatif?” I’m not saying your emotions and feelings aren’t important; I’m notasking you to turn into a robot. What I AM saying is you need to get thoseexperiences much further down the ladder of importance and act on what isgoing to make the biggest difference to your life.One of the common excuses we feed ourselves is, “I want to change my lifebut…” while watching hours of TV, eating junk food, reaming my waythrough Facebook etc. Be straight with yourself.YOU DON’T WANT TO CHANGE! If you did, you’d be doing it! Callyourself out on this shit.Take a long, hard look at your life. Be honest with yourself, identify thebehaviors that are holding you back. You need to use every waking hour ofyour life to further your cause, no excuses. You’re not any different or anyworse off than anyone else. You’re not a fucking special case who needsdifferent rules than anyone else.You need to make a choice, right now. You’re never going to change yourlife until you get rid of those things. No more excuses.2. Start taking the actions to propel you forward.Again, pretty straightforward, right? Changing your life isn’t just about NOT
doing certain things. You’ve also got to put in the work and build the positivehabits that will pull you in the right direction.If you want a new job, go out and apply for one. Get out there and network.Search the classifieds, talk to friends, ask for references.No, I mean really do them. Don’t say you will, and then don’t. Don’t hypeyourself up, then push it off until tomorrow.“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.”- Carl JungTake stock of the things you want to achieve. What do you want toaccomplish? What do you need to do to get there? Map out the next step –hold yourself accountable, moment by moment by moment to those steps.These two steps, stopping and starting, are naturally linked. Becausepsychologically, it’s hard to just quit something “cold turkey”. Especiallywhen it’s an addictive habit, that affects the very chemistry of our brains, likefood or sex or drugs or video games.Stopping your bad habit doesn’t help, unless you replace it with somethingelse, something that actually works in your favor and is an example of thenew kind of life you really want to live. It’s about systematically replacingthe old with the new, forging a new life for yourself--the kind of life you’vealways wanted.You have to clear out the bad to make room for the good. Otherwise you’renot going to have enough evidence for that new life. You’re building a casefor a new life, item by item. The process has to be thorough and decisive oryou’ll always be held back and slowed down on your journey to change,carrying that dead weight.Quit the TV, the sea of self-help books that you read and do nothing with,excessive eating, sofa camping and procrastination. Replace them with tangoclasses, book clubs, eating for fuel, bicycle riding and expressing yourself…ANYTHING!Need support? Get yourself a coach, a good one, the best you can afford.
