Don’t Psych Yourself Out!

Hi Guys!

So many times we give up on something before we even start! Have you ever been there? We sometimes overanalyze an issue or a decision to be made, to the point of not doing anything at all!

I do a lot of shopping online from amazon and other retailers…For certain products, I love to read the reviews of other customers to ensure that my money will be well-spent. So many times, I’ll see a product that gets a 4 out of 5 star rating, and therefore almost 100% positive reviews, but I will purposely seek out the negative reviews so I can weigh the pros against the cons…that in and of itself is not a bad practice, but don’t you know, that even though there may be 50 comments, and only 2 of them are negative, somehow I’m swayed by those 2 bad comments as opposed to the remaining 48 positive ones?? Swayed to the point of not even wanting to complete the purchase! Has that ever happened to you?? Why do you think that is?! I think for some reason, we hold on to and focus on the negative more than the positive, and this needs to change!

Look at your own life for example..there’s lots of good things about each of us, and at the same time, there are some stuff that needs some work…some stuff that is negative about us that needs to get out of our lives…sure..we all have things we need to work on, right? How come then, do we spend soooo much time battling ourselves and others over the few “bad” things and little to no time celebrating the good things that make each of us unique?

Hmmm…paradigm shift needed!

I need you to know there’s ALWAYS more going right with you than there is going wrong, so do NOT believe the negative press!

I’m currently doing the at-home workout program called “Insanity”, and I had heard so many horror stories about how hard it is…and, “Yori, that one is tough..not sure you can do it”, etc. but for me, I knew I needed to give my body more of a challenge than what it was getting, and I decided I would try it…and yes, for me, it is very challenging, BUT it is not impossible! I’ve finished Month 1 and am now on my 1st week of Month 2..my body is sore beyond belief, but my mind is resolute that I can and will complete and conquer this program – I may not do it perfectly, or be able to do as many reps as the people on the DVD yet, but I feel accomplished knowing that I shut all the negatives out and made a decision to do something that I never thought I could do!

I say that to say this – don’t psych yourself out! You just don’t know what you’re capable of unless you do something…just because something didn’t work for someone else, doesn’t mean it won’t work for you (and vice versa) – find out your niche…what works for you…and just do it! Shut all the other voices out, and do you bayyy-bayyy! – You’ll be glad you did!

Have a great day!

Love,
