I'm taking a little break from cleaning and thought I'd share this with you. It's not a revelation or a new concept, but I think it's something that we all need to be reminded of periodically (I know I do).
As I'm cleaning today, I turned off the TV and radio, and have been listening to a set of audio tapes that I have called "Self-Esteem and Peak Performance" by Jack Canfield (one of the ME things I'm doing this weekend).
I think this is the kick in the butt that I needed to help me get back on track!!!
Something that he teaches is E + R = O.
Event + your Response = Outcome
You are in control of what you do and how you feel. Someone else can not make you feel sad, angry, hurt, upset, or happy, excited, joyful.
You make that happen by the way you respond to events or people. And no one or nothing else makes you gain weight or lose weight. You do that by chosing to eat or chosing not to eat something.
You are in control of you!
It's all about choices and reactions/responses. And I chose to get back on track with my new healthy WOL, to regain control over my portion sizes, and to move once again towards a healthier thinner me! And I'm doing it for me, because
I deserve it!!!
