Kicking myself in the ass.

My ass should be sore by now if I really look back. In the past, I kicked myself in the ass for:

Staying with someone longer than I should.

Having that last glass of wine that likely pushed me over and gave me the worst hangover imaginable.

Not listening to my mother.

Kissing that guy…**shutter**

Binging on a row of Oreo cookies…okay it was actually two rows.

Wasting a year’s worth of a gym membership.

Being too scared to just go for it.

Sleeping with that guy **squeezing eyes trying to erase the memory**

Not taking high school more seriously.

Not doing the whole Europe backpack thing in my 20’s.

Changing myself for other people when I was younger and insecure.

Falling off an eating routine and saying I’d get back on it when Monday came around but never did.

And ya…not listening to my mother.

There are plenty of things and if I wanted to really give myself a good hoof, I could go on and it would be painful to sit right about now.

And truthfully you might feel much of the same – especially after yesterday – the never impending Blue Monday. I don’t actually see the point in broadcasting to the world about the saddest day of the year – Look everyone, it’s a shit day! Let’s commiserate together! Yay!

So instead, if you’re one of the 90% of people who’ve fallen off the bandwagon and find that you’re kicking yourself in the ass for the failed body transformation attempt, stop. It’s the reason that being there for patients of mine and really staying in touch to motivate, provide private consultations for those signed up to The Enlighten Movement is so crucial. Doors are closing on the 29, so if you haven’t signed up, there’s still time.

In fact, I think all asses worldwide need to be saved from self torture. That’s right, we can bond together, help each other get back up and get some perspective. Here’s how:

Ask yourself:

What are 10 advantages of you being in the current state you’re in?

What would be 10 drawbacks if you got what you wanted?

These two questions in many given scenarios just might be the two most powerful questions you’ll ever ask yourself. It’s where we balance things out, dissolve the illusion and actually make what we want attainable when we finally let go.

…and of course not be riddled with the fact, that we likely should have listened to our mothers.
