Consistency is the key!

Boy, I so needed to read this and let it sink in tonight. Time to take back control and get back to my daily, consistent actions. I feel so much better when I'm doing what needs to be done each day instead of feeling guilty or making excuses. It's so much worse to not do what you know you need to do than to not do it. The emotions you go through when you don't do it is definitely not worth it. You feel so much more confident, have better self-esteem and can handle so much more in a day when you are doing what needs to be done. You just feel on top of the world don't you? When you are consistent in one area of your life it spills over into all the other areas.

"Are your actions consistent with the person you desire to become? Actions are what will make your dreams come to life.

Is it your desire to become financially independent? Then, act like it. Would you like to be in great physical shape? Then, act like it.

The actions you take will create the reality of your life. Those people who have achieved financial independence have done so by acting in a certain way. You can do the same. Wishing will not make it so. Complaining will not make it so. Your actions will make it so. Every moment of every day you have the opportunity to mold your life by virtue of the actions you take.

Are your actions leading where you want to be? The moment you start to think and act like a winner, then you are a winner.

Your actions are your tools for creating the life you want. Who do you want to be? What do you want to have? How do you want to live? Act like it and it will happen for you, because..... You have GREATNESS within you!" ~ Les Brown

Kinda Sorta?

Don't forget!!  Your fitness and nutrition lifestyle doesn't end on the weekends.  What's the point of "being good" during the week and throwing in the towel on the weekends only to have to start it all over again on Monday?

There's nothing magic about a Monday. Right?  Don't do that to yourself.  Be consistent.  When you are consistent you can allow for a few weekend indulgences. It's the on again off again roller coaster you want to stay away from.

Time for a little change dontcha think?

This is a post copied directly from Chalene Johnson.  I just love her and want to grow up to be just like her some day.  LOL!  She speaks from the heart and straight into your soul with such wisdom.  It's tough love sometimes but she does it with love and she's just real.  That's what I love about her.

Anyway...I wanted to share this with you too because it's something we ALL can learn from.  This is not just about her private clients she coaches.  This is about all of us.  Imagine if we all have this in our minds every day, with every encounter.  We'd fill the world with such love, compassion and positivity wouldn't we?  You won't get this off your mind once you read it.  You'll be thinking about this during all your interactions.  You can't unlearn this now that you know it!  You're welcome.  :)

Here is the post from Chalene:

A huge component to changing your life is to change your words, change your thoughts...soon after your thoughts, actions and beliefs will follow.

I posted this to my private Smart Success Academy members. It's tough love. They signed up and were accepted so it's my job to deliver the best to them and to protect them and to guide us in the direction of unwaveringly positive thinking!!!

I thought I would share the rules that we make them stick to in my private FB group...

Please read this important mindset message:

To be a productive member of this group I ask that you STOP before you hit post and ask yourself the following:

1. Before I occupy the time of others with my question, is the answer right in front of me or could I go through the lesson/module again with more focus and determination and an open mind and perhaps find the clarity I was looking for?

2. Does this post focus primarily on my "problem" or have I found a possible and suggested solution? I am my solution. I am my solution and I am improving my ability to see the right way. If I know the solution I need to have confidence in my decision.

3. Is there a more positive and uplifting way to pose this question?

4. Am I honestly seeking an opinion or advice or am I really longing for someone to listen, care and hear me? If the later is true I need to search for council--- but not in this group. Smart people seek the help of a profession.

5. Panic, worry, stress, negativity, depression, defeat, and exhaustion are not allowed here. You are entitled to feel those things but you are not permitted to introduce those very contagious emotions here. Period. This is not a support group. Your focus becomes your reality.

 6. Ask yourself if you could rewrite each post with emphasis on your blessings. Focus on your favor, the abundance in your life. Don't waste energy by focusing on that which you don't want more of.

7. Your partner, mother, brother, wife or adult child might be a horrible person. We can read between the lines. No need for dirty details. Please focus on the positive. Don't allow the poison in your heart continue to stop you. Release it ... but not here. I will not permit negative commentary about others, including your jerky-ex. To say negative things about an unsupportive spouse is very telling about your approach. If what you're doing isn't working - first, change your approach, then do that 10 more times------ before deciding what you're willing to accept.

8. If you spend your whole day here on FB--- in this group, jumping to aid of each and every person who posts, while I appreciate your kind heart, I also what you're avoiding? When will you'll have time to GO OUT AND DO IT if you live in this group? Check back a couple times a week. That's it. Be careful not to collect too many wounded birds. Before you can be someone else's hero you need to be the hero in your own life. 

You have big dreams and much in store for your life if you chose to focus on the positive! Who has time for bitterness toward those who actually came into your life to teach you a lesson. Thank God for that lesson and move on. Instead of complaining that no one supports you, how about you take note that God is in your corner! Focus on the miracle your life is about to become. See the blessing in your life and keep your eyes on the prize. 

Change your thoughts - change your words - change your focus and NO ONE CAN STOP YOU!
