Have You Hit the Wall Lately?

 
What wall? That wall of life. The frustrating one you seem to bang into at the most inconvenient times.  The Health Wall, the Physical Wall, the Relationship Wall, the Mental Block wall etc….

What happens when you hit the wall?


1. Do you stay down and instantly dip into a spiral of negative self-talk? "I am not smart enough, they are all better than me, I never should have tried this, why do I always fail?"
2. Do you just sit there and wait for someone to come knock down this wall for you? Or graciously turn around and revert to your old way of living?
 
3. Do you get a bulldozer, a rope, round up some friends to help and you blast that thing down so you can head towards your destiny/goal/desire?
 
We see this scenario in at least 80% of the people who visit our store. Their walls have been unknowingly  built for them by their eye doctors, their family, their friends and, mostly,  by their own "I can’t do this" attitude. Each of the above laying a few bricks at a time until, all of a sudden, they are confronted with a towering and seemingly impassable wall. But with our help, they discover they can smash down those walls to regain their independence and, ultimately, engage life again.

Lately I have been hitting my own wall in the exercise department. I have been very spotty with getting it done. But I have also found myself easily creating excuses for why I don’t have time each particular day.
As my good friend brought to my attention yesterday, the best time to work out is first thing in the morning. I know this, but……

We all know it is extremely important to exercise at least 3 times per week and maintain a healthy diet. Do we do it? Only you can answer that. If we did, Dr. Phil or Dr. OZ might not have jobs on TV……

So what wall are you facing? And what are you going to do about it?
You have three choices. Which one will you pick.
