Reasons or excuses?

There are many people who say they want to change their habits or behaviours for many reasons. Maybe these habits or behaviours are no longer beneficial to them. Maybe they are preventing them from following their dreams.

That is what coaching is all about, helping you to change the habits and behaviours that are no longer working well for you.

BUT, here are just some of the reasons I have been given for not wanting to begin the change process:

It will be difficult
It’s going to be risky
It will take long time
There will be a family drama
I don’t deserve it
It’s not in my nature
I can’t afford it
No one will help me
It has never happened before
I’m not strong enough
I’m not smart enough
I’m too old (or not old enough)
The rules won’t let me
It’s too big
I don’t have the energy
It’s my personal history
I’m too busy
I’m too scared
What will other people think?

Those are not reasons, they are excuses. How do you know it will be difficult or risky? You do deserve it, you are strong and smart enough, you are never too old to change, what other people think is none of your business.

The bottom line is do you want to improve your life in some way or not? It is your choice. If you do then you need to get out of your own way, take the plunge and begin the change process.

If this has resonated with you in any way, please get in touch.
