Encourage Yourself

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

It’s going on the sixth week of my exercising and thankfully, I have dropped 7 pounds. Now, my guess is – if I could only leave the sweets out of my diet – I could easily drop several more pounds. But I’m encouraged anyway for the few pounds that I have lost!

Do you ever feel like, when you finally put your mind to something and set a goal, something always get in the way?  For me, I’ve never been a big sweet eater but lately, I can’t stop eating the sweets! It seems as though others for example my spouse, son, and other family members are no help in encouraging me to lose the weight and leave the sweets along. Of course, it’s really not their problem but it would help a great deal to have their support. So now … I have taken a stand to Encourage Myself and you should do the same. Don’t rely on others to encourage you – do it yourself. No matter what goals you are trying to reach – whether it’s starting your own business, obtaining a degree, getting out of debt, or even searching for a new job, Encourage Yourself. Don’t let anything or anybody stop you from reaching your goals not even you! Sometimes we are our own biggest hinder in obtaining and reaching our goals – but we’ll save that story for another blog!
