Do you want to lose weight or do something great with your life? Most of us do and all of us have great ideas that we haven't yet manifested. You may be driven to act based upon these dreams and goals yet find yourself too afraid or self-sabotaging yourself. In short, your short term vision is clouding your long term vision.
Anthony Robbins in, Awaken the Giant Within, explains that our motivations are directly linked with pain or pleasure. He says, "The problem is that most of us base our decisions about what to do on what's going to create pain or pleasure in the short term instead of the long term." How many times have you overeaten for the pleasure of now, instead of only eating what your body requires for energy and health? Pushing past the short term pain is what's required to reach our long term desires.
What action have you been putting off? I was beginning to gain weight because the pleasure of eating and not exercising outweighed my desire of fitting into my jeans. It wasn't until all my jeans were tight, I felt sluggish and tired did I decide the pain of weight gain was too much! I started counting calories, eating organic, healthy foods and exercising everyday. Now I feel amazing and am glad I pushed through the short term pain of exercise and discipline with my food. What short term pain are you avoiding that would bring about the long term change you desire?
