influential person in your life. 

I received an email quote that I accidentally deleted, which I desperately want to retrieve.  I can’t remember who it was by or the exact saying but it mentioned that the most influential person in your life is you, be mindful what you say as your voice is the one constant thread.  You hear your voice 24 hours, 7 days a week.

In our WW meeting, a co-member brought up self talk and asked how to keep it positive.  I wanted to send this quote to her for support, as it’s helped me.  I have found that if I tell myself great things, than great things happen.  Too often I’ve been negative in my self talk and therefore that negativity is reflected in my results.  I think many of us have been our own worst enemy at times.  I know I have! 

I’ve decided that I’ve had enough of being my own worst enemy and from now on I want to be my biggest supporter.  If I don’t think I can do it, does it really matter if someone else thinks I can?  Ultimately, I have to decide that I am worthy, that I can do it, and that I deserve it!  I have to hear my voice believing in me.

I feel like I am at a penacle point in life.  My actions and my decisions that I make now, will forever determine how things play out.  I am bound and determined to make the positive changes.  I am hungry, metaphorically speaking, I want more from my life.  Not to sound too militant but I want to be all that I can be. 

It starts with small steps and grows from there.  I have started giving myself pep talks in the morning, some times in the afternoon, and when I go to bed.  I dream of the things I want to achieve and I visualize myself achieving them.  Heck, I’ve even started cheering for myself!  I do it for my daughter, my husband, my friends, my family, my colleagues, my favorite sport teams, candidates, my dog, even the underdogs, why not do it for myself as well?!

I believe this mindset is what has been helping me over the last few weeks.  Things are getting easier, opportunities are knocking on my door, and I’m seeing results!  :) 

Results this week:   Down 2 lbs for a new total body weight of 152.4 lbs. 

What will you hear this week?!
