We all can have a rebel that lives inside of us taunting and tempting us to turn to the dark side of unhealthy living. It can even come in the form of outright discouragement from not seeing results right away and out of frustration stuffing our faces with crap because we think what’s the point? We can be our own worst enemy when it comes to putting ourselves down and throwing that adult temper tantrum that leads to nothing but making poor decisions and a negative “mental game”. In comes resentment and anger at life, the choices we are making that should be working but not, and straight up “biotch” attitudes. You have just met the inner rebel that seeks to destroy our efforts and take us down to the mental breaking point.
I say, kick your rebel in the face and refuse to give in to the thoughts that will only give way to a domino effect of good things gone wrong. Instead of listening to inner voices of temptation to jump ship with taking care of your health, slam immediately on the mental brakes and start writing down what you have been doing in a positive and negative way to take care of yourself. This will require complete honesty about the food being eaten, alcohol being consumed, and exercise being done or avoided. This is where we need to get real with our rebel self and in order to destroy the actions that occur from this other person. Our mental game is at risk here and overall happiness with life and self. If we lose control and throw in the towel, what good does that do anyone? The battle is always with ourselves and how we handle that is again our responsibility.
I understand that not seeing results and working your ass off can feel so unfair when results in the mirror or on the scale are not being seen, but if you are completely honest with you, I am sure you will find that the rebel is allowed out to play way too much. Becoming our best healthy self is about acceptance of this moment and what we are doing right now to change who we are physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Being in denial about the rebel within will not allow for the best you to emerge and consistently be in control of your life choices. Anger and bitterness over our circumstances resolves nothing, but being pro-active to get to the bottom of why the rebel is winning will provide the answers needed so that a change can be implemented.
