From 100 MORE Days of Weight Loss, Day 60
Consider letting go of fretting about yourself and your own weight-loss goals.
Instead, focus on your ability to support and encourage others. Think about the words you need to hear, then give these words away to someone else.
Here are my answers to the three questions at the end of the lesson.
1. Find people who are trying to lose weight. Encourage them and tell them you know they can be successful. Describe their reactions.
I have several coaching clients who need encouragement and support right now.
I’m trying to reach out to a lot of people right now and show kindness and caring.
2. Send out five “I’m thinking of you” cards or “You can do it” emails.
I’ve sent email notes to my three sisters who each have their own share of challenges right now.
I’ve sent encouragement email to Karen and Rose who are the leaders of large women’s organization in my town.
I mailed cards to two friends who are struggling in their lives.
3. Record your thoughts about how it felt to share the gift of yourself.
It feels great! It helps me take my mind off myself and my own struggles.
It also reminds me that many people have harder life challenges than I do!
