Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 226

Title:          This Mantra Will Help You Change How You Think About Yourself

You have heard the popular saying that "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" and I am sure you have heard it over and over again, but what I am not sure of is if you have ever sat down to reason it out and actually understand it with the intention of fully utilizing it in your own life.

All journeys of positive change begin with a goal and the determination needed to achieve it.

However, what do you think happens when you are too determined, or too obsessed, with a goal? You begin to nurture another belief: who you are right now is not good enough.

Over the past 3 months, I have had a Client who has shown remarkable interest in working out and has really gained a lot from it in terms of body weight and shape but she has become overly obsessive in her efforts to work out.

As her interest in work out grew, she began to increasingly say to herself, “I am not good enough,” and, “I have to be better at this.” She began to notice various imperfections within herself that needed to be “fixed.”

In a nutshell, her over-the-top efforts to work out for extensive periods of time had opened the doors to lots of unexpected self-criticism and stress.

Thankfully, with a little bit coaching from me, she eventually realized that her obsession toward work out had made her forget one of the basic objectives of work out —self-acceptance.

So, the bottom line is this: you have to accept yourself as you are, and then commit to personal growth.

If you think you are absolutely “perfect” already, you will not make any positive efforts to grow.

But, constantly criticizing yourself is just as counterproductive as doing nothing, because you will never be able to build new positive changes into your life when you’re obsessively focused on your flaws.

The key is to remind yourself that you already are good enough; you just need more practice.

Change your mantra from, “I have to be better,” to, “I will do my absolute best today.”

The second mantra is far more effective because it actually prompts you to take positive action at any given moment while simultaneously accepting the reality that every effort may not be perfect.

Being able to distinguish between healthy striving and self-abuse on your journey is a critically important step towards living a happier and more successful life.
