KNOW YOUR WHY

The truth is, you know what to do. You don’t need another diet or a celebrity endorsed cleanse or a trainer to be an accountability partner. You know you should eat better, exercise more consistently, go to sleep earlier and reduce the stress in your life. So, what’s holding you back?

Know Your Why 

The fact is, unless you have a clear and compelling (emotion stirring) reason to do something, you probably won’t do it or your efforts will be inconsistent. You why directs your efforts to fulfill the intention you set. However, if you wish to lose weight or go to sleep before midnight so you’ll get up and exercise in the morning, but don’t have a strong enough why…the what’s not gonna happen.

Ask yourself why when you set your wellness goals and uncover the real reasons behind your “goals”.

Why do I want to lose weight?

Why do I want to eat healthy?

Why do I want to eat breakfast?

Why do I want to exercise every day?

The question is yours. When you answer it, dig deeper and ask why about your first answer. Ask again and again until you find the real reason. It may take five, six or seven “whys?” to get to the truth, and you’ll know when you do.

 When you dig deep and write out the specific reasons behind your intentions, you will know why, or maybe, you’ll discover why not. The point is, when you pair a compelling why with what you desire, your chance for success dramatically rises.
