Keeping It Positive
In fact, according to a report from the U.S Department of Health, "70-80% of all visits to the doctor are for stress-related and stress-induced illnesses". The American Psychological Association reports "Forty-four percent of workers have gained weight in their current job and nearly one-third (32%) say that work related stress contributed to their weight gain". If you Google "Stress Related Weight Gain" you'll find over 20,000,000 results!
Regardless, there are too many people that go out of their way to perpetuate the Negative in everything. Go to Facebook right now and look at your News Feed.
(Don't worry, I'll be here when you get back!)
I will bet you, on average, you will find at least 5 Posts that contain nothing but drama. And the ones that you do find that are positive, you'll invariably find one or two Trolls being contradictory just for the sake of doing it. Others go out of their way to find something, cast it in the most negative light possible, then do everything possible to throw it in the face of anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path. This is without even leaving your house. This crosses all lines of gender, race, belief or status.
When we get Negative, our willpower and motivation grind to a halt!
So, what's the answer? Put simply... Be Positive! Now, for the vast majority of people, this is not just a "flip a switch and magically turn your life into Rainbows, Unicorns and Magic Pots of Gold" sort of answer. Just like any goal you set, it takes a daily effort. It takes being aware of what triggers the Negative in your day-to-day dealings. When you purposely look to be positive, seek out positive influences and surround yourself with people that not only are positive, but will lift you up when you fall, you tap into a powerful way to give you the strength to make things happen! It also takes walking away from those negative influences, blocking those Trolls, or... when seeing a Negative is unavoidable, recognize it for what it is and turn it into a Positive. Its these Footfalls that we can turn into Stepping Stones to get where we want to go.
There was a Facebook Comment from someone that said that they didn't think DDP Yoga could help, then went on to list all of the reasons why. They were Motivated enough to buy the program, but then there are all these reasons why they Hesitate.
What if they could take all of those reasons why they can't take control, then turn them into ways that they can take control? Again, this is not just something that people just do. That's where not just surrounding yourself with good people, but reaching your hand out to those who need help up, gives you the strength to do what needs to be done.
This is just one more way you can...
