By now you will have started your Facerobics Journey, you will be well into uncovering "your story", learning to love and accept yourself and you have started your Level 1 exercise routine.
As you begin to uncover your story, you may feel uncomfortable to discover all this time you may have just been making excuses as to why you have not succeeded at some things.
This is the battle of your mind. We call these battles (thoughts) - mind tricks.
Your mind tricks you into thinking of road blocks to stop you from moving out of your comfort zone. These are thoughts that you "default to" when confronted with uncomfortable situations and feelings.
Mind Tricks are behaviors your mind defaults to by way of (amongst other things)
- Rationalization
- Unrealistic Thinking
- Catastrophic Thinking
- Being a Victim
- Feeling sorry for yourself
- Creating drama
Go back to where you discovered your story, and think how your mind tricks you. Do your thoughts default to any of the Mind Tricks above? Journal it and add it to your Toolbox.
