It's easy for us to say, “I can't do that”
I can't do push ups.
I can't run.
I can't go to the gym.
You can ask any one of my personal training clients, they've all had mountains of can't's. But if you know anything about me, I am OVERWHELMINGLY positive in the face of someone telling me they can't do something. When someone says they “can't do something” I chime in with the ever positive “…Yet”.
You can't do push ups… yet.
I can't run… yet.
I can't go to the gym… yet.
Do you know what happens when you add that tiny little word to the end of your sentence? All of a sudden, the blockade we have imposed on ourselves comes crumbling down. The box we inadvertently have built around ourselves starts to come down. You start thinking of HOW am I going to achieve my goal, instead of I CAN'T achieve it.
If I change the statement, “I can't run” into “I can't run yet”, my mind automatically starts brainstorming on how I can achieve my goal.
I can start with walking 5 minutes a day.
Then maybe go for a jog one day.
Then work up to a short run!
That 'can't' turns into 'yet', and it is one of the most empowering mindset shifts you can do for yourself.
