“If” or “Because”?

set goal, make plan, work, stick to it, reach goal – a success concept presented with colorful sticky notes

I found this picture on this website about goals, losing weight and getting fit. Other people have similar images, but I liked the connection to my own goals and thought I’d link to it. I haven’t had a chance to explore it, but it might be an interesting rabbit hole.

Today I reached a number in my own weight loss journey. And this was my thought. “If I can get here, I can get there” If, well if sounds a bit iffy in my opinion. There is a sense of uncertainty in the word IF. And thanks to my “Get Your Goal” life coaching, I caught that thought and recognized the uncertainty in the thought – the doubt.

What if I changed the words of that thought?

BECAUSE I got here, I CAN get there!

I wish I knew how to make an image of this, but it is not a task for today. I have confidence in my ability to figure it out.

Because I DID, I can.

Cheers,

Marcia

About Marcia Stehouwer

I have a great life (most days) and a small budget, so being frugal is one of my favourite hobbies. I started this blog after procrastinating for 3 months, on April Fool's Day. I knit, I read, I knit, I work... I am also about a quarter of the way through my goal to lose 100 pounds. So between knitting, working, reading etc., I also do some walking! EDIT: 2021. I am not closer to my weight goal, but moving forward. The budget is still small. We are renting our homestead and progressing towards our family dream!
