Change is never perfect, nor is it linear, but when you take a moment to ask yourselves the questions below, you remove yourself from automation, and you step into a life created by the real you.
ISH Weekend Challenge!
A colleague, life coach and friend of my recently shared the following questions in her newsletter that I want to share with you all on this topic.
I invite you to take some time this weekend to check in and ask yourself these questions.
Questions I ask myself when I need to polish off the tarnish and remember why I originally committed to a thing in the first place,
Coaching tip: Please use these in the next 72 hours (studies show if you don’t use what you learn in 72 hours - you won’t ever use it).
1. What do I say I’m committed to? You state your desired goal here
Example. Getting into the best shape of my life.
2. What am I really committed to? To find the answer to this question, you simply need to look at the results of your actions. Your results will show you what you are committed to.
Example - I’m more committed to staying the same. I am more committed to believing the thoughts in my head that what I eat doesn’t really matter anyway because I’ll never reach my fitness goal. I’m more committed to believing the story that food is a reward, and that I deserve whatever I want because this is “me” time.
3. Am I willing to recommit to what I say that I want instead of committing to the actions above? If yes, restate what you are committed to in step 1 and why the actions in step 2 are not serving you.. If no, ask yourself why.
Example: I’m committed to getting into the best shape of my life. I do not believe in staying the same. Staying the same would mean I’m living from a past version of myself not from the current or empowered future version. I do not have to believe all my thoughts. My thoughts are not me - just thoughts, and I have the power to change my thoughts. I do not believe food is a reward. This was something I was taught at an early age, and I’m able to learn new things.
4. What is ONE thing you can do today to show yourself you are committed to this outcome?
Example: I am going to pre-plan all of my food and workouts this week.
When I am recommitting to something that I really desire but my actions are showing me I’m committed to an old way of being, I’ll come back to these questions once a day until I see a change in my actions.
