Hello, beautiful souls. It's Coach Deb here, from Get REAL Weight loss reaching out to share a piece of wisdom that has the power to revolutionize the way we approach life changes, especially as we embrace the golden years beyond 50.
This journey is about more than just physical health; it's about nurturing our mental and emotional well-being, too.
I've discovered a simple, yet profoundly effective formula for breaking free from the cycle of guilt, shame and self-punishment that too often follows our less-than-perfect choices. It's time to share this secret with you.
Recognize and Identify
Our journey starts with awareness.
Every change begins with the ability to see and accept our actions without judgment. Recognizing and identifying the thought pattern or behavior that is not serving us is essential.
We must identify what it is that is not beneficial before we can begin to think about what we need to do about it. This is the first step of the process. Getting intentional about our choices gives us the power to understand our paths, responses and the decisions that lead us astray. So before you can begin to think about change you need to identify what behavior or pattern of thinking is not serving you.
Acknowledge
The next thing we need to do is acknowledge that we are responsible for the behavior or thinking.
This sounds simple but it is not. We must take ownership. We acknowledge we have been in a pattern of thinking and acting that has not served us well.
Too often, this process takes a turn as we enter the realm of guilt, blame, and shame. These emotions carry low vibrations that weigh heavily on our spirits, creating a cycle of negativity that hinders our growth. It's a path well-traveled but one that leads nowhere.
So, we acknowledge, and own it realizing that getting honest with ourselves without guilting and shaming ourselves is a key step in breaking free from the cycle
The Shift: Forgive and Change
Here lies the heart of our transformation. Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door to change.
By forgiving ourselves, we release the mental and emotional baggage that burdens us, freeing our spirits to embrace growth and acceptance of ourselves both in what we do well and how we can improve on the areas that are not serving us.
This step is not about forgetting or condoning our actions but about allowing ourselves to move forward with grace and acceptance.
When we forgive ourselves we are letting go of any hope for a better past.
It allows us to focus on the present moment and build ourselves up with hope and intentional thinking that empowers us and influences us to make decisions that work for us not against us.
The Impact of Mental Weight
I've always believed in the connection between our mental state and our physical well-being.
The weight of guilt and shame is more than just emotional; it manifests physically, adding layers that weigh us down.
Forgiveness, then, is not just a balm for the soul but a crucial strategy for our overall health.
The journey to self-improvement and well-being is ongoing, especially as we navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with age.
The formula I've shared today is more than a strategy; it's a philosophy for life.
By embracing forgiveness, we can shed the mental and emotional weight that holds us back, opening our hearts to the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
Let's walk this path together, supporting one another in our journey towards growth, well-being, and renewal.
By embracing forgiveness, we can shed the mental and emotional weight that holds us back,
