Important Letter to Myself
Never underestimate the power of speaking to yourself, reminding yourself of what you want and what is important to you. I use a To Do list app and remind myself weekly. Here is my "Important Letter to Myself" and you can use it as a template to make your own.
I have decided that it is time to be the man I started out being and live the life I want to live. For too many years I have allowed laziness, depression, addiction, and general apathy to direct and guide my life and lifestyle, that is no longer going to happen. I now demand that my life get dictated by my true desire and beliefs. They are:
I am in control of my destiny. There is much I can decide about my life.
I will not let fear, anxiety, or unhealthy thoughts rule my life, I will convert them to healthy thoughts and staying present and happy.
I want to live to be at least 98 years of age, always in physical and mental fitness and living a high and good quality of life.
I want to be financially secure and wealthy enough to enjoy all the things I want without stress by no later than December 2022.
These things can be achieved by me. The key components to implement immediately are:
Stay present and immediately change unhealthy thinking.
Moderate drinking of alcohol.
Reduce and maintain a weight below 20% body fat.
Eat foods that are good for me and do not eat foods that are bad for me.
Exercise daily and in the best way for my body and health.
There it is, that is what I want and the strange thoughts, lazy habits, odd emotional states, and crazy human behaviors that stop me from living this way are no longer part of my life.
