Please don’t use excess weight as an excuse to delay your happiness. Imagine yourself looking back at your life to realise that you didn’t fully live to your potential because you were too busy beating yourself up for the size of your body. Oh, what a painful regret ... what a tragedy. Plant the right seeds today.

Brendon Burchard, author of “Hacking High Performers & Productivity Tricks,” has a beautiful bio-hack for tapping into your own direction and what matters to you most. Once we are clear on where we would like to head, it is easier to get motivated and to stop the running in fear and find the love in taking steps forward. We can then let the love and aspiration drive us past our fears.

Brendon, suggests finding three words that describe your highest, best self and writing them down where you’ll see them throughout the day. (I have mine on my note in my phone). I then set a phone alert to go off three times a day to remind me of these words and to check in if up till that point in my day, I am adhering and choosing options and tasks that keep me inline with my highest self.

This trick is perfect for moving you out of your comfort zone and towards who you want to be and be seen as, remembering your motivation as you get started.
