I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say I needed more willpower.

I also wish I knew how wrong they were when they told me that, because that would have saved A LOT of wasted effort and heartache on my journey to end my weight struggles.

So that’s exactly why it’s so important I share this with you today.

More willpower is NOT where your power comes from.  The truth is you never have more than a limited supply of willpower because that’s acting against your will - your thoughts and feelings - and God didn’t design us to be able to do that for very long.

You know where you can find true power that never runs out?  By learning how to enjoy your journey.

Do you know how it’s possible to actually enjoy your journey?  By making small shifts that create more empowering feelings.

Here’s a life-changing truth.  EVERYTHING we do is motivated to make us feel better.

If what you’re doing – like restrictive diet actions not aligned with the life you want to live – leads to you constantly feeling bad, miserable or somewhere in-between, then guess what?  You’re not going to keep doing them.

Sure you might be able to generate enough willpower to keep going for a few weeks especially if you have some success and wins along the way…BUT I promise you it’s not going to last if those feelings don’t change.

Soon enough you’re going to be searching for all the reasons to change what you’re doing so you can start feeling better.  That usually leads you right back to the actions and habits you had before you started.  And that’s a problem because they aren’t leading you to where you really want to go.

Feelings are what drive our actions.  Always have been and always will be.  When you understand this, you can apply this to your journey by learning how to generate more feelings that are going to keep you on the path you want to be on.

That’s how you learn how to enjoy your journey - and that is what makes it possible and so much easier to stay on it until you get to where you want to be.

Join me to learn more and understand how to create feelings that will take you where you want to go.
