What Excuses did YOU have for not feeling Satisfied in 2009?

By: Cheryl Bourget H.H.C.

When you reflect over of your life, is there one area where you experienced a lot of dissatisfaction and very little change?

Did you want to be in a loving and supportive relationship?

Did you want to have more physical freedom?

Did you want more creative freedom?

Did you want to be in a better job or succeed in your own business?

Did you want more money or to feel secure with the money you have?

Did you want to let go of old resentments and have emotional independence?

Of course you wanted to answer YES to all of the above but you couldn’t because: … You did not have the energy … It would create family drama … The economy was bad … You were too busy … You did not feel smart enough … It’s not in your nature …. Not enough money … It was someone else’s job … Any of these sound familiar to you? These may all seem very true to you in realty. They are in fact just Excuses!

In my coaching practice the business of modifying habituated thinking comes down to my clients releasing the same old excuses and examining their beliefs about their personal reality in a new and truthful light.

You have excuses for your failures. You have excuses about your choices in life. You have excuses concerning what you feel you have accomplished. These excuses encourage dysfunctional thinking. Consequently, you have attracted undesirable actions and behaviors.

Making excuses instead of taking one hundred percent responsibility for your actions, your thoughts, and your goals is the trait of people who fail to thrive and feel satisfied. Part of the power of taking responsibility for your actions is that you silence the negative, unsupportive voice in your head. When you spend your thinking time on execution and victory, instead of on making excuses, you free up the emotional space formerly inhabited by pessimisms and excuses.

The next time you catch yourself making an excuse, whether it’s for unsupportive words used in conversation, a late project, your goal not reached, the job you work, or the number of clients you have, gently remind yourself - no excuses. Spend your thought time planning your next successful venture. Positive thinking becomes a helpful habit. Excuses fuel failure!

A very good first step in stopping excuses is to make a commitment to give up laziness. Have a private conversation with your higher self and be willing to hold on to its vision for you. If the old excuses come flooding in, and they will in hopes of persuading you in your moment of weakness for justification that you cannot change. Make a journal entry of your higher vision to help you recall your commitment to your decision and process of redefining yourself!
