Do u believe u have the power to change your body AND your life?

I read this post on Facebook recently and it rang so true for me.  So many people have beliefs that hold them back from being their biggest and fullest selves and living into their fullest human potential as well as TRULY owning their power.  I decided to take it a step further and share these things connected with the habits and body patterns I see in people that exemplify these beliefs on/in the physical plane.

Here are the top 10 ways people give away their power:

1. Asking others what they should do.

2. Thinking God decides who gets what.

3. Worrying about how their dream will come true.

4. Thinking they have dues to pay.

5. Attaching to unimportant details and outcomes.

6. Believing in soul mates.

7. Thinking karma or spiritual contracts are absolute.

8. Fear of anything, especially falling in love.

9. Waiting for their ducks to line up before acting.

10. Choosing to be unhappy.

Here are the ways we mirror the giving away of our power in our bodies:

1.  Not listening to what they truly want to do for movement and fitness but 

    only doing what they "think" they should do or someone else tells them they 

    should.

2.  Thinking their genetics are predetermined and they can't change anything.

3.  Worrying about doing the "best" workout, burning the most calories, 

       thinking they have to be perfect on their diet or none of it will do any good.

4.  Thinking they have to kill themselves to change their bodies.

5.  Always worrying they aren't doing it "right".

6.  Believing someone else knows better than them in regards to what they 

       need or want.

7.  Thinking they are stuck in whatever rut they are in and not taking the time 

      Or having the initiative to change it.

8.  Fear of just getting started.  Fear of failing, so they just don't take a 

       chance.

9.  Always waiting to start the workout program or diet tomorrow.

10.  Choosing to believe they will never change, their bodies will never change, 

        There is a right or wrong way to move your body and they don't know how 

         So they just stay stuck.

How do you stop yourself from being successful?  How does it show up in your body?  How does it show up in your life?

Be brave.  Take the first step.  Ask for help.  Listen to yourself.  Listen to your body.

Understand the truth, little bird, and you will soar.
