I catch myself at times saying, “wow, this is HARD!” or “this is going to be so HARD!”
Ever hear of “self fulfilling prophecy?” That is what that is. We say something often enough and we make it come true. We look for the “evidence” that it is true.
Find one area in your life where you know you tell yourself over and over that “this is hard”. Begin to change your self talk or out-loud-talk. Something like “this is getting easier”. “This used to be hard but I have found an easier way to do it now.” ” I enjoy the challenge of this as it is making me ……….”
I think doing 5 “boats” held for 5 counts in a row is HARD! And I tell myself that story every time I do them!! What if I stopped telling myself that story? What if it is just ok that I am working and getting stronger every time that I do them? What if they start to become easy? What if I start to look forward to doing them?
Let me know how you are doing with your story and I will let you know how mine begins to shift as well:)
Happy day of effortless, joyful living!
