Good morning friends of Holyhead Slimming World 🥰
It took me a long time to realise that the scales are neither friend nor enemy. For me, and many of us, it's our brains 🧠. I seem to have two little voices in there; my 😇 who dreams of being my best self, and my 😈 who tells me I can't, I'm going to fail, why try, why bother, I deserve to enjoy myself...
The latter voice, for many of us, is much stronger, louder, willful, and self destructive. It's like a spoilt 2 year old, demanding attention and screaming the place down to get what it wants. If we let it, that voice drowns out the whisper of our dream, and what could be.
The worst phrase I ever hear from members is "my head's just not in it right now". Because motivation never comes back from stopping taking action; it enables us to slip back into our comfort zone. In turn, we might end up right back where we started 😢 (And when the weight goes back on, the whole cycle starts again).
Motivation comes from action. Start by letting that angel 😇 voice tell you that you CAN do this. You are worth it. Angel voice says to take action 🎬. It says take little steps; make plans; celebrate wins; accept slip ups as being a part of the journey, and instead learn from them. Soon that whisper will become a roar as you succeed more often than trip up.
By allowing that understanding voice to fill your head with kindness, the scales will soon follow, and you'll be amazed at how differently you start approaching things.
Message for anyone out there whose negative voice is winning right now: tell it to 'do one', because no matter what, you are giving up, giving up! 💪. Action, results, motivation 😎
Love Netty x
