Our words and thoughts have a big effect on our actions and attitude. Most of us understand this principle, but it’s a lot harder to put it into practice than it might seem. But your words and thoughts about yourself can be the difference between continuing down a path of success and feeling overwhelmed and unsuccessful.

I’m here to challenge you today to become aware of the words like “only” and “should” that are sabotaging your joy and sense of accomplishment in what you’ve made happen. Change the sentence “I’ve only lost X pounds…” to “I’ve lost X pounds!” and see how your perspective shifts. Noting your accomplishments and giving yourself credit for your wins is empowering, and everyone deserves to be proud of themselves for the things they work hard for. I want you to begin basking in the accomplishment of your wins, no matter how big or small you may think they are (because side note, Rome wasn’t built in a day). Spend time recognizing all the things you do to get you closer to your goals! You have so much to be proud of, and I want you to feel that.

The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan

Quotes

“When you use the word ‘only’ when describing your accomplishments, you are massively minimizing the effort that you’re putting in and the transformation that’s occurring.” - Matthea Rentea MD

“Stop minimizing when you’re putting in effort and work and doing hard things.” - Matthea Rentea MD

“When we remove words like ‘only’ and ‘never’, it can feel like we’re just playing around with semantics and words but we’re not. Oftentimes that’s the only thing that needs to change.” - Matthea Rentea MD

“We don’t need to lose more weight, we don’t need to go faster, we don’t need to do anything. We need to stop beating ourselves up and stop minimizing where we have come from and how much we have done.” - Matthea Rentea MD

“If you’re someone who’s a real go-getter, when you achieve something you might celebrate it for one second but you don't really let it land, or stay in the win. There’s always that next thing which is not inherently a problem, but it is if you don’t let yourself enjoy where you’re at at the moment.” - Matthea Rentea MD

“When you’re on these longer health journeys, there’s no arrival! There’s no reaching the summit and now we’re good. So if we want to keep going, we need to love the process and where we’re at. And part of that means acknowledging how much we’re actually doing.” - Matthea Rentea MD
