A lie that is believed as truth will affect your life as if it were true. He went on to list several of the lies that we tell ourselves, and there were a few that I really am victim to. The first was that we believe our worth is determined by what we do, or what people think of us. (I, on the other hand, feel that my worth is tied to my weight, and that people couldn't possibly think anything good of me if I am heavy.) The other one that really resonated with me is that "I am who I am, and I can't change that."
How often do we tell ourselves that "I'm heavy. I've always been heavy and I will always be heavy. There's nothing I can do to change that." or "I'm just not a runner. I'll never be able to run a mile, let alone a 5k or a half marathon. So why even try?" It's time to stop.
REJECT WHAT YOU HAVE BELIEVED YOUR WHOLE LIFE AND EMBRACE THE TRUTH.
As of today, I am going to not only embrace the truth, I will rejoice in it.
Here is the truth:
-Truth is, I am worthy of happiness.
-Truth is, I am beautiful, because I have been made in His image.
-Truth is, I can do anything I set my mind to.
-Truth is, there is an athlete inside me that is just fighting to get out.
-Truth is, life is tough, but I'm tougher.
-Truth is, I'm going to slip up sometimes, and that's okay. It's not okay to use one slip up to destroy any progress i've made up until that point.
-Truth is, I am capable of changing my life, and helping others to change their lives.
-Truth is, I am stronger than the demons in my head.
-Truth is, it is possible to enjoy exercise.
-Truth is, my husband really does think I'm beautiful.
-Truth is, nobody can do this for me. I have to do it for myself.
-Truth is, I am ready.
I need to remember this. It opened my eyes and my heart. We feed ourselves lies all the time, and they are detrimental to our progress. It must stop, and it must stop NOW. Stop believing that you don't deserve better. BECAUSE YOU DO. You deserve the best you can give yourself. Stop selling yourself short. YOU ARE AMAZING. Stop making excuses for yourself. Anybody can do this if they want it bad enough. Do you want it?
What lies have you been telling yourself? Believe that you are worthy of happiness and love. Believe that you deserve to be healthy. Believe that you can do anything you put your mind to. Because you can. I hope you believe me. I wouldn't lie to you.
