A few days ago, I was having an especially discouraging day and had the thought flit through my mind: “why bother?” What was I wondering what I should bother about? My healthy journey. I thought to myself “I have been this way all my life and I am in my 50’s, why bother trying to change now?”. Thankfully, I had been reading Shad Helmstetter’s book: What to say when you talk to yourself and I recognized this as negative self-talk. So I immediately started working on turning it around to positive self-talk.
Why bother? Well, there are hundreds of reasons. Just a few of them:
-I want to feel like playing with my grandchildren.
-I want the energy to do the things I love to do, like write and teach.
-It helps me deal with the stress and grief that I am going through right now.
Do you ever catch yourself having these kind of thoughts? If so, how do you work through them?
