Today's episode is a saucy, spicy mix of tough love and a pep talk, because as you know, I'm here to keep things transparent.
Let's dive into pre-decision - how many times have you pre-decided that something is going to be hard or you won't actually achieve the goal? That pre-decision is actually a form of self-sabotage.
Not to say that it's easy to make that mindset shift, but it's important to recognize it and actively work at quieting the chatter in our brains. Let's stop talking ourselves out of going after something we want because we "think" it's going to be too hard!
When you discount yourself before you start, you rob yourself of embracing the suck. Will it be hard? Yes. But staying the exact same and not moving forward is equally (if not more) hard.
Pre-decision can be beneficial when we accept that something will be hard but we don't let that stop us. Instead, we let it fuel us!
Take marathon running as an example - I had to change my mindset from "if it gets hard" to "when it gets hard". I knew mile 18 would be hard so I prepared my mindset and predecided how I would work through it.
You can pre-decide to have good feelings and intentions, even when life feels busy and overwhelming. Remember, all of these things are things you once wished for and now you are living them out. Can you pre-decide today to reframe your feelings from overwhelm to gratitude? If so, you'll really start to see things shift and grow.
And remember, your imagination is likely much bigger than your calendar. You get 24 hours in the day - if you pre-decide and plan ahead that 24 hours is plenty of time to accomplish the things you want to do. Set yourself up for success my friend - I believe in you!
