I Used To….
I’m working on taking this phrase out of my vocabulary. Mainly because it’s usually followed by some better version of myself. I used to be under 120 pounds, I used to be able to run 13 miles at once, I used to make $X amount of money. You see where I’m going with this? I could also tell you that I used to weigh 120 pounds because I was going through a divorce and controlling my weight was the way I kept my sanity or I used to be unhappy with my job when I made $X amount of money, but then I’m just making excuses for who I am now.
The way I see it, comparing myself to who I used to be is just like comparing myself to some model I see on a magazine cover. I can’t compare myself to her, she’s not the same person as I am, just like my former me is really not the same person that I am. I have a completely different life than that girl. I hardly even know her.
From now on it’s all about I am or I will. I am eating really well and feel good about my decisions. I am loved by an amazing husband. I am grateful for the clients I have and am working hard to help them with their book promotions. I will add a few minutes to my run each week. I will focus on expanding my business by continuing to learn new skills and meeting new people.
Is there a word or phrase that you have cut out of your vocabulary? (Keep it clean!) What have you replaced them with?
