All too often I hear people say “I can’t.” What should really be said is “I won’t.” The reality is that our bodies are only as strong as our minds say they are. When someone tells me, “I can’t because (insert excuse)” in my head I hear “I won’t because (insert lame excuse).”
I don’t allow the usage of the word can’t in our home, unless it is something like, “I can’t reach the top shelf.” I remind my family that can’t isn’t in our daily vocabulary, and should only be used when something is physically impossible ( being too short) or when myself or my husband has deemed something out of bounds because of behavior, “I can’t spend the night because my room isn’t clean.” Try and take can’t out of your vocabulary for a week.
Now, replace can’t with can. “I can do burpees, I can do sit-ups, I can run.” It may not be amazing, or up to where you think you should be, but you can do it. Eventually, if you continue to say can, you will and it will be a cinch. Sometimes we just don’t want to do something, ( I know I am guilty of this) but instead of can’t say I won’t. This causes you to be honest with yourself.
One of the biggest excuses I hear is “I can’t afford a gym membership so I can’t get healthy or lose weight.” WRONG!!! gym or no gym, fitness is a state of mind. You can’t have a strong body with a weak mind (Thank you FLEX TIL YOUR FAMOUS for that phrase). I have seen people get healthy with out ever stepping foot in a gym. For those of you that use that excuse, here is a challenge for you. Eat clean, cut out processed junk ( because all it really is, is chemicals) and walk daily for 30 minutes. It doesn’t have to be fast, it can be slow, but do it for 30 minutes. Done? Good, now add this AB challenge to your regimen. Happy, Healthy, and Strong, you can attack anything. Nothing will stand in your way. “Ain’t no mountain high, ain’t no valley low, ain’t no river wide enough baby!”
