I read a blog post about the difference between using the phrase "I can't"
and "I don't" and how this simple change in self-talk can help us stick to our
goals. You can read the article
here.
Using the phrase "I don't" helped 8 out of 10 subjects stick to their goals
versus 1 out of 10 who used the phrase "I can't". That is remarkable!
So I found my first challenge! Every time I feel like skipping exercise, I
will use the phrase "I don't". I'll practice here:
I can see why this phrasing can be so effective because it comes from a place
of power and choice. I love it! I think this small habit change will surely
help me resist temptation and feel more empowered in achieving my goals. And
the great thing is that it can be used with any goal!
Anybody want to try this with me?
