Thinking of avoiding the Christmas Party

What excuse are you going to use this year?

Do you avoid sociable situations because you feel uncomfortable with the way you look?

Is this because you have a mental image of the type of people that attend these parties and it doesn't fit with the woman who is staring back at you in the mirror?

How many years have you avoided situations like this?

I can understand.

I've worked with many clients who were feeling the same kind of thing,

for many years they had attempted to make it the year that they finally got in shape,

the year that they feel really confident and can face the world when it comes to social events.

But again for whatever reason they cannot explain why they didn’t quite achieve this

They then start on downward spiral of self doubt which we term the negative closed loop cycle

Where…

You attempt to lose weight > lose a little > reward yourself > fall of the wagon > negatively talk to yourself > attempt a stricter diet (because the one before didn’t work) > repeat cycle…

Does this sound like you?

Well, Angela felt the same and then she found us

But what she wanted was (and I think it is what you’ve been missing all along)

“Someone in my corner who understood how I felt, understood what I was going through, the hurdles I faced, who wouldn't judge me and who believed in me so much so, that I could begin to believe in myself again.”

“Someone who would work alongside me, encourage, guide and support me. Who would help me to re-build my confidence and self-belief, helping me to achieve my goal and to become the woman I once was.”

Angela Now

 “I have achieved what I originally joined RWL to achieve. I'm in a good place. I now have my life back and am living it to the full. (So much to be grateful for...thank you).”

Once you’ve achieved this then it is about learning to accept yourself for who you are.

It’s about believing in you

Challenging your belief systems

Angela then went on to saying:

 “I learn to be more accepting of myself. RWL don't pass judgement on what they think I need, so I'm lucky in that respect.”

This can be you!

In time for the Christmas party I hear you ask?

Yes in time for the Christmas party but you need to act pretty damn fast

You can get the ball rolling by answering these very challenging questions because all that you are missing is the “WHY”

Behind everything that you do that is significant. You need to find the deep “why” you’re doing it.

Whenever times get tough (and they will), knowing your WHY will help carry you through this.

You can start to find out your “why” by answering the questions below

I usually only give these to the “RWL members” to answer when they first join

But, I’m in a generous mood today…

And plus I know you only have about 8 Weeks till Christmas – there is still plenty that can be achieved

Feel free to send your answers to RWL Training Department along with your phone number so that we can have a chat about this.

Simply, complete the sentences

1.       My biggest challenge with [insert goal] are:

2.       I desperately need help to:

3.       Even worse, I need to:

4.       Right now, things look like:

5.       I cant wait until I can:

6.       If I just had,_________________ life would be easier

7.       I’ll be happy when:

8.       My friends/family think I need_____________ but I think I need_____________

Seriously, if you avoid this step I can categorically say that you’ll continue to go through the same cycle as I explained above.

Even if you don’t respond to me directly at the very least answer the questions for yourself.
