“I am the type of person that ______“

From August 16, 2018

This is a idea I picked up recently from a podcast or audio book that I have been thinking a lot about. I believe positive self talk goes a long way towards becoming successful towards your goals, what ever they may be.  If you tell yourself that I am the type of person that does something in certain situations, you can decide in advance and you don't  have to consider another option that will take yourself in the wrong direction.

I know if a cookie is put in front of me, I am really good at talking myself into making the choice I shouldn’t make. Sugar is addictive and that rush of dopamine tricks my body into thinking I want it, even though it doesn’t fit into my personal long term goals. If I tell my self in advance that I am the type of person that doesn’t eat cookies when trying to lose weight I won’t even have a decision to make, don’t give yourself the option.

What type of person do you want to be? Here are a few ways to finish the sentence.

I am the type of person that

loves and takes care of my family

chooses food that will help me be healthy instead of food that makes me sick

does what I expect of myself even when no one is watching.

finishes the last round of a work out or end of a amrap with everything I have.

works hard to become stronger and move better.

is always learning.

watches educational t.v. instead of crap.

is always working to improve my self and those around me.
