Chapter 4- How to stop feeling stuck

What is your current painful thought

Why are you choosing to think this

How could you think differently about the situation

what evidence can you find to support your new thoughts

How does your new thought make you feel?

 Limiting beliefs- looking at it from a different perspective

Its hard for me to learn Spanish

It's hard for most anyone, hard does not mean doable. If I put in the time, brick by boring brick, I will learn to speak Spanish, and to understand and write it. I am not an incapable human :) I have learned to be the different me from my shy and scared before me. I can put in the work and effort, I have the time to keep becoming me . I feel great thinking about accomplishing this hard task, it will come in so handy, I will be proud. I can do this

Thought: I can't change my body composition

I think this because currently it seems very hard to work my body in a way that "may" be painful

I could think of it as pain is gain, that the work will create new muscle, that my body WILL change over time, the paper towel theory of fat loss and the reality that creating muscle, by working out will change my body comp

I've seen it before with working out, I did change, and I could change now

This thought of making my body comp change, and that I can do it make me happy

Thought- I can not pull off the fashion that I want to convey

i Can study and learn design and fashion from Mentors before me, You tube has lots of creators. I have the time to watch and study and to learn. There is no reason why I can't learn to create and be confident.

I feel optimistic and happy thinking I CAN do this

today I woke up thinking about my body comp and working out again, that  I can not do it, or that it will not work. Actually, it's more about me doing it, because of course it works. Im thinking this because ai tire easily, and that I'm "so tired" at the end of the day. Well, I'm going to be working out earlier in the day, and if I'm tired at night, so what? nothing new there :) I can do it, I can do it slower, I can practice the right movements, I already KNOW that my body is stronger then it was when we moved here, doing the little weights I have been doing. I absolutely CAN do the workouts, I have everything I need to do them, and of course working out works, I've seen it on others and also myself. I feel good about starting the program soon.
