Excuses and Triggers

 




Excuses and Triggers
 

Have you been trying to get healthy?

Do you feel like you never get to achieve your goal?

 

This can be down to your excuses and triggers; you also have to want to achieve the goal. Do you truly desire it? If you don’t the excuses will come.

 

Do you know your excuses?

Do you know what your triggers are?

 

Every day we go through a range of emotions, from joy, anger frustration, disappointment and confusion these are just a few.

Behind the excuses there will be triggers and some of the triggers may be

Rejection

Betrayal

Challenged beliefs

Being out of control

Being excluded or ignored

Disapproval or criticism

 

When you make excuses, this is the greatest way to give up on your desire to change. You will find so many reasons on why you can give up

I don’t have the time

I’m not fit enough

It is too hard to fit in

 

This can become a problem when you believe the excuses and give up, with a sense of justification.

 

When you become aware of the excuses, it allows you to see them for what they are a reason to give up. You now have permission to tell the excuse where to go, this is not a reason to judge yourself and be hard on yourself for making the excuse. They way through this is to encourage yourself to continue moving forward and actively achieve the goal you are aiming for.

What are your triggers?

Have you had a hard day and just want to chill out on the couch with the crisps? Instead of cooking a meal and meditating.

Are you upset?

Are you tired?

Are you having a hard time in your relationships?

 

When you become aware of your triggers you can set a plan in place for when these triggers occur, which over time will become easier to deal with.

 

When the slips happen, remember you do not have to beat yourself up, you have to just pick yourself up and carry on.

FAIL is the First Attempt In Learning

A weekend of adventure and fun

Image
  A weekend of adventure and fun. The last 2 weekends have been full of adventure, fun and challenge. Meeting lots of new people who have met over the last 2 years on Facebook in a group that offers the spirit of adventure. This weekend it definitely did. A few members from the group set off to Keswick to join the Festival of Light that was being held on Saturday night.  I arrived on the Friday night at the YHA in Keswick (definitely worth a stay), started with a chill before the rest of the group came back from having a meal and spent time getting to know each other. When they came back to the YHA, we had lots of chat and laughs, continuing to get to know each other.  Saturday plans We eventually went to sleep, I woke at 5.30am and got ready for a day of walking, we had an offer of paddleboarding or a walk around Derwent Water a 10 mile walk. With my challenge in August of walking the Pennine Way, I decided the walk was for me. In the evening the plan was to walk to and ...

6 Human Needs

Image
The six human needs Tony Robbins identified the six human needs that we require to ensure we are motivated to fulfil and are the basis that we make choices are the following:   The first four needs are the needs of the personality also known as the EGO and they are needs that a human must have met on a daily basis. Certainty – A need for safety, stability, comfort, order, predictability, control and consistency Uncertainty/variety – the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change and novelty These 2 are like a see saw and work with each other, if you get too much certainty, you will get bored and if you get to much uncertainty, you will crave a bit more certainty of predictability Significance – the need to have a meaning, to be special, unique, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance, worthy of love and respect Love/connection – the need for communication, unified, approval, attachment, intimacy, to be loved by other ...
