Day 27 of 2021-Take the thinking out

 Good Morning my friends! How are you feeling today? What are your thoughts on your resolutions and goals? I hope that no matter where you are, you should feel proud of yourself.

Nike has the famous saying "Just do it." Now I know that is easier to say than to actually do it. For me, I know its easier to choose cauliflower rice over white rice or wheat bread instead white bread however, that may not be the same for you.  But if you are feeling overwhelmed with the decisions you need to make to achieve your goals, are you over thinking it?

Now we already have a lot to think about and making it easy to reach your resolutions should not involve more thinking. It should be like brushing your teeth every night where you don't need to think about it. It should be part of your lifestyle. 

So when you go grocery shopping, create your list in advance, look up the item on the grocery app (if you have it) to find the isle where it is located and stick to list and the isle you need to go it. Decide before even going that you are going that you are not going to wander and only leave with the items you came for. Take the guessing out of the equation and make it a lifestyle so it eventually becomes a habit and you can do this without overthinking it.

Its almost like saying "just do it" but without the brain working overtime to achieve it. Sometimes taking a simple view is a lot easier than over thinking and over talking about it. 

Take a closer look at your resolutions and goals and see which areas you are overthinking it. Can you swap out the thoughts and rethink it as just making it as part of your everyday habit like brushing your teeth. What simple actions can you take? For example, maybe buying whole wheat pasta instead of your regular type. 

Take a look at all the positive things you already do daily. I am sure you can think of many things. When it comes to resolutions and goals though we sometimes put too much thought that it can paralyze us from taking the action. 

If you are writing every single thing down, researching it non stop but not actually taking the action, that's when you need to ask yourself if you need to change your strategy. Researching is a great way to help you attain your goal but if all you are doing is just researching and not taking the steps than you may need to ask yourself if you are overthinking this. 

You may already feel anxious and pressured to reach your goal so take the thinking or brain out of the equation and make it a part of your everyday life . Hopefully this gives you a way to reach it.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace,

Monita
