12. Negative Thinking/Excuses
Is your thought pattern something like this: I don’t have time to exercise, it doesn’t do me any good anyway, I’m fat and I’ve always been fat, because my mother always fed me junk food so I don’t know how to cook so I’ll just buy some frozen dinners because my family doesn’t notice what I cook anyway, so what’s the point?
You might not use those exact words, but do you see what we mean? It’s the easiest thing in the world to make up excuses, and there are plenty of them in this world if you want to live your life that way. It’s also easy to fall into the negative thinking pattern of always seeing the worst in everything.
But what would happen if you tried, for just 30 days, to do the opposite? What if you stopped making excuses and just did it? No matter what that “it” might be for you, what if you just did it, even if it didn’t come out perfect? The goal would be to “do it,” period, not do it perfectly.
And what might happen if you tried thinking positive for just 30 days? Whether you think it’s a nice day or an ugly day, the amount of effort is the same, so why not choose to look on the bright side? Why look for ugly, when you can look for pretty?
What might happen to your life if you tried this for just 30 days? You might be surprised to find that your entire life changes, and for the better. What have you got to lose?
