“I don’t have time to take my supplements, take a shower, or make myself a great lunch because I have to take care of everybody else first. The kids, the laundry, the running around, the dropping off… I have to remember everything on my to-do list. I have no time!”
Then there’s this zinger:
“I’ll feel happier and sexier when…”
You know that one? We’ve all done it. Sounds a bit like this:
“I hate my body, I am just going to sign up for a marathon and do that insanity workout thing…I’m going to do that and then I’ll be sexy again. I’ll be happy then.”
This is a voice we all can understand. The inner critic. The voice that keeps us from living the life we want right now. The one that makes us wait until we’ve done just one more thing.
It’s all so disempowering. And, exhausting. None of the fads or diet books take into account the “whole person.”
