FINDING THE ILLUSTRIOUS "WHY" WITHIN

Find Your “WHY”

These are some of the excuses I hear day in and day out...

“I have tried so many times, but nothing works…”

“I need to workout but I just can’t find the time…”

“I can’t seem to stay (or even GET) motivated”

“It is too hard to eat right…”

“I workout for a day or two, I don’t see results, so I stop…”

"But I love pizza and beer, like SO much..."

"I'll start on Monday... oops. Ok, ok, NEXT Monday (and so on, and so on)..."

Are any of these you?  If you want answers to the incessant battle you are having, than I am going to turn the tables back on you and ask you: "What is your WHY?"

Tricks Of The Trade

It is incredibly difficult to stay committed and determined to do anything, unless you know what your "why" is. The WHY is the real reason, the root if you will (and you will) that drives us to change, to get in shape, to be healthy, to make money, WHATEVER it might be that you want to do.

And here is the ticker: You CANNOT change for someone else or change for insignificant reasons. You can ONLY change if your WHY becomes important and visible for YOU! Nothing will ever stick if it's not for you!

Finding the WHY

To pinpoint that sneaky little son of a $%&@, you need to set aside some time, let those hamsters upstairs run like hell and get the wheels turning. Think long and hard as to WHAT your WHY may be.  

Flip through some mags, read articles, sift through the never-ending world of Pinterest. That site is not a time suck when it's for the right reasons, and dammit, this is for a good cause! See what appeals to you, what triggers your inner UMPHH!  Consider making a vision board and it will help reveal some deep desires and inner gusto to get that train moving.  

What are you trying to change? What are you searching for?

Is it for health?
To feel effin AWESOME on the daily?
You want to be more energized?
To be around and active for your kids?
There is no wrong answer out there, it just needs to have meaning and be special to YOU! 

To stick along that line at the risk of sounding redundant, you can’t take somebody else’s WHY and make it your own. This isn't American Idol #seewhatididthere #heypaula.  

Once you get to the root, the nitty gritty of what your “why” is, it will start to drive that change in you.  All of a sudden solutions will start presenting themselves to your problems.  The answers start to become evident and you begin to take action and make shit happen.  Yeah that's right, I cussed!

Discovering your WHY is the most vital step to change, long term change that is. As you proceed to get your mind right, you will see that getting your WHY on is the most important first step in any of my programs.  If you have that in your arsenal, you will retain focus, and you will not be stopped. 

So my beauties, think positive and stay focused and you will render positive results. Waver and lose focus and start to become unsure of yourself, then you will falter. Simple as that! This isn't easy, but I promise you that it's all worth it!
