I was having a chat with someone recently about doing things in life and changing it up.  It was brought to my attention that they were making excuses for themselves.  What excuse?  They didn’t want to get fit or healthy because they didn’t think their husband deserved it.

I know what you’re thinking.  Really?  Yes, really.  All too often we make excuses that we’re not even aware of.  Sometimes we’re aware of them, but most of the time we’ve told ourselves that often enough, that we’re not aware of them.

Why is this an issue?  Why wouldn’t it be?  We’re on this planet for one thing and one thing only.  Ok, maybe a few things.  For example: we’re here to be healthy, learn and grow, and experience all that we can.  So, why is it that we’re holding ourselves back?

I think that a large part if it is negativity.  Negativity is what holds us back.  Even if we have plans, (big plans) we’ll could still have some negative thought holding us back.  As Randy Gage puts it, you have to get rid of the negative thoughts and replace them with good thoughts.  Only when the Positive outweighs the negative, can we then move forward.

One thing we have to realize, is that we’re hear for ourselves.  No one else.  We don’t have to please anyone.  If we want to be healthy, it should be for our own reasons.  To live longer, live happier, regardless if someone deserves it or not.  We deserve it for ourselves.

Before you go bashing yourself with negativity, remember this, “It’s for me, no one else.”  What are some other excuses that you’ve caught yourself giving?  What are some tips that people can use to become positive thinkers?
