Did that headline get your attention?
The amount of times I hear this comment from clients, from friends, from people at networking events (usually over the lunch buffet) and you know what? It is soul destroying.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? YES I HAVE SAID IT TO MYSELF FREQUENTLY IN THE PAST!
But here is the thing ......
What weight are you talking about??
The number on the scales........... or the reasons that make you reach for the biscuit tin or the wine in the first place?
Have you thought about the weight you carry around from past relationships and traumas?
Have you thought about the weight you carry around from the wardrobe full of clothes that dont fit anymore (and lets face it even if they did fit would you want to wear something that reminds you of the past rather than your new future?)
Have you thought about the weight of the day to day worries you carry around on your shoulders - your job, your health, your families health, relationships, your finances etc.etc.?
Have you thought about the weight of the people around you who empty your tank every day rather than replenish it?
Have you thought about the weight you put on yourself every day with that critical inner voice - not good enough, useless, rubbish partner, rubbish Mum/Dad, rubbish friend, useless at your job ?
Have you thought about the weight of the world you carry - wars, famines, cost of living crisis, pandemics?
Have you thought about the weight of the daily scrolling through your phone - fomo, everyone on holiday, everyone smiling, everyone thinner, prettier, fitter, happier kids, bigger house, fancy car?
NOW - what I want you to do is imagine a life without these weights on your shoulders and how amazing that would feel!
You will feel lighter
You will feel confidant
You will feel you have space to breath
You will feel you have clarity
You will feel calm and relaxed
You will feel amazing!
I am not underestimating the daily struggles we all face but I am reassuring you that YOU can do something about it - maybe not on your own but if you need support I am here for you.
I am a therapist and life coach because I love seeing the transformations take place when YOU make the changes🦋
