Impedimenta

Sunday, April 15, 2012

For my team the Challenge of Harry Potter I need to write about who or what keeps me from reaching my goals. At first I thought this would be easy, but the more I thought about it I realized that I am who is keeping me from my goals.

When I have a slip up I let the guilt get to me and I figure why bother for the rest of the day. I also get upset when I don't lose what I think I should. Which is happening a lot right now since I have hit a plateau.

Some days I just want to give up and tell myself it is too hard. I need to cast the Impedimenta spell on me so I will stop sabotaging myself.

    That is so true for me too! The good thing is that the only person that we have some power to change is ourselves!
Remember that plateauing is good! It means that your body is adjusting and not crashing! It means that you have lost progressively, it means that you are not gaining, and it means that soon, as you keep up your effort, loss will happen again! Stick in there, see this as a positive move, as when you reach your goal (first, second or ultimate one), you will have to learn to stay there... Plateauing helps with that learning!!!!

    I totally know what you mean. I do it to myself too. I'm my own worst enemy.
