Talking to yourself instead of “listening to yourself” should be a must for you, especially in times you don’t want to do things that are good for you.
Listening to yourself sometimes means you don’t want to go to the gym today.
Listening to yourself sometimes means you want “comfort food” justifying a takeaway, justifying a few drinks to get over a problem or stress, and you may convince yourself that’s the best way to do it.
BUT sometimes we all need a good talking too, we NEED to be at the gym to make sure we get a great workout which will make us feel better, we NEED to eat well and healthy as we know 30 mins after eating rubbish we will feel lousy and un-energetic once again, we need ENERGY and we don’t want to eat ourselves into a big slump and rut..Sometimes we need to the things that benefit us, even if sometimes we don’t even feel like doing these things!!!
Accept that we will often have two voices, one on each shoulder and doing the things that we NEED to do, instead of the stuff we “feel like” doing will always lead to better outcomes, for our bodies and our minds.
