Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 218
Title: Here's A Beautiful Reminder To Embrace Positive Change In Your Life.
Are you ready
for another quick reality check?
So, here comes this story
“I just
wanted to send a quick note of thanks. Today marks a full year that I’ve been
eating right and working out regularly, which is, as you know, something I
resisted for years. This time last year I weighed 312 pounds. When I saw my
weight on the scale at the doctor’s office I knew it was time for a change. And
after speaking with you and you advised that I should take absolute control of
my life and take responsibility for the way it turns out, I decided to exercise
my willpower and stop using all those dieting pills that have done nothing but pollute
and poison my system and also the self-deceiving gastric bands or anything, I
went back to the doctor’s office for my annual check-up. ‘199 lbs,’ my doctor
said. ‘You know, your positive lifestyle change just added roughly 10 years to
your life expectancy.’ My 9-year-old daughter, who came with me, grabbed my
hand and said, ‘I look forward to spending those extra years with you, daddy.’”
Wow! Talk about a beautiful reminder to embrace
positive change in your life.
That email story led me to write this piece for
your readership.
Are you
in the same exact situation as the man who sent me the email?
Things
have not worked out right for you?
Everywhere
you put your hand, something blocks your efforts?
You eat unhealthily
and accumulate so much fat than you need?
Yes?
And then
you want to make a change but your psyche resists it?
Well you
may feel resistance, it's perfectly alright BUT it's not okay.
And it
may not be easy. But we all have to stretch our comfort zones and move our
lives forward.
The truth is, living is a risk.
Happiness
is a risk.
If you’re
not a little scared and uncomfortable sometimes, then you’re not doing it
right.
Don’t
worry about mistakes and failures,
worry
about what you’re giving up when you don’t even try.
Worry
about the life you’re not living and the opportunities you’re forgoing, as you
merely exist in the safety of your comfort zone.
Give yourself permission to be one of the people
who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them and
grew into your strongest self.
That’s what I wish for Myself and that’s what I
wish for YOU.
So in a general sense, here are three good
reasons it’s time for all of us to embrace change and move onward…
1. There’s plenty of life left to
be lived.
It’s never too late to live a day that makes you
proud. If you don’t learn anything else from this broadcast, learn that.
We get
one shot at the present and we can make it great. Today is the day!
There’s
no age limit on changing your course, and to settle in and be stuck in a life
that isn’t well is a tragic waste.
Honestly, it’s never too late or too early to be
who you are capable of being.
There’s
no perfect time – you can simply start and stop whenever you want.
You can
change or stay the same.
You can
make the best or the worst of today.
It’s up to you, so make the best of it.
Do things
that startle you.
Feel
things you’ve never felt before.
Engage
with people who help you grow.
Live a
life you’re proud of.
And if
you find that you’re not, have the courage to change things.
2. Holding on to old pain is
self-abuse.
Your past has given you the strength and wisdom
you have today, so celebrate it. Don’t let it haunt you. Replaying a painful memory
over and over in your head is a form of self-abuse.
Toxic
thoughts create a toxic life.
Make
peace with yourself and your past.
When you heal your thoughts, you heal the health
of your happiness.
Now is
the time to stop focusing on old problems and things you don’t want in your
future.
Because
the more you think about them, the more you attract what you fear into your
everyday experiences – you become your own worst enemy.
3. Moving on creates positive
change.
You may blame everyone else and think, “Poor me!
Why do all these crappy things keep happening to me?” But the only thing those
scenarios all have in common is YOU. And this is GOOD news, because it means
YOU alone have the power to change things, or change the way you think about
things.
There is something very powerful and liberating
about surrendering to change and embracing it – this is where personal growth
and evolution reside.
And of course, if you're struggling with any of
this, know that you are not alone.
Many of
us are right there with you, working hard to feel better, think more clearly,
and get our lives back on track.
