Client Case Study: “I’m Too Tired.”

This weight loss success story shows that what you think about you bring about.

 Here's a mini-success that led to a bigger weight loss success story.

My client Christy had decided she wanted to create the habit of going for daily walks.

When I checked in with her the next week, it was not going well.

She'd planned to go for a walk after work the evening before our call, but she'd been too tired.

I asked her what she'd done with the time instead.

She'd taken that hour to watch TV… and that hour had turned into staying up until the wee hours of the morning.

So needless to say, the next day when she'd planned to get up early and go for a walk while it was cooler, she was too tired.

Then a whole day of work on just a few hours of sleep.  Exhausting.

So OF COURSE she'd also be too tired to go for a walk tonight.

“Do you see how the thought ‘I'm too tired' brought you more tiredness?”  I asked.

In that moment she got it.

This is a crystal clear example of how what we focus on expands.

She's realized that thought, “I'm too tired,” is just that.  A thought.  And in and of itself, it doesn't have the power to force her to do or not do anything.

When she has the thought “I'm too tired,” she can choose to go on a thirty minute walk while she's tired, which will help her body process through some of the stress chemicals that are in her body from the work day, which will help her reduce that “wired but tired” feeling that's keeping her up all night (but with only the energy to watch TV).

And once she's more physically tired, she's also more likely to be able to fall asleep early in the night.  Which will help her feel more rested the next day.  Which will make her brain less likely to offer the “I'm too tired” thought when it's time for a walk. 

And even if it does, she now knows she doesn't have to obey her primitive mind in the moment.  She can stick with her plan. 

That repetition helps create the new habit.

And that's how she'll become someone who just goes for a walk without questioning it.

That's how one small shift can lead to results over time.  And enough small shifts can help you write your own weight loss success story.
