Breakthrough

break·through
/ˈbrākˌTHro͞o/ n. a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development.
 
You could be one thought away from a decision.  Turning a thought into a decision is where the real power lies.  Having tools to implement your decision is also imperative for success.

How does breakthrough feel? 

Empowering! 

Light!

Exciting!

I recently observed a thought about my weight that was not serving me.  It was a story that I was telling over and over like it was a fact:

“I gained weight overnight after my vaccination.  Real weight!  The kind you can grab onto.”

This story is not true and it absolved me of all responsibility and took away my power to do anything about it. 

Once I realized this thought distortion and went to work I started seeing a breakthrough.  One pound at a time. (4 pounds at the time of this writing).

What thought is keeping you from losing your weight?

Decide Once!

Decide Once!
Deciding is one of the most powerful tools we have. It takes courage though.

Have you allowed decisions to spin in your head for days, months, years?

What decision do you have spinning in your mind right now?

The freedom that comes from decision is unprecedented!

Here’s a simple example: At one point in your life you decided or it was decided for you that you would brush your teeth at least twice a day. Because the decision was made…this is a non-negotiable activity that you faithfully accomplish every day without a thought. There’s no drama about brushing your teeth. You don’t spend any time spinning about the perfect way to accomplish the task. You just do it. No thoughts, no drama.

Now imagine this goal that’s spinning in your head…this decision you’d like to make and can you put it in the same container as brushing your teeth? At least to start. You can improve on the method as you go.

Step 1: Decide!
