FAQ – Am I Really this Lazy and Useless?

So, it’s the Easter hols this week and next and I’ve taken a few days off. Headed up to Cragside in Northumberland for the day yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. But, I did feel a little guilt. ‘I should be working.’ and ‘I’m just being lazy aren’t I?’ Now these thoughts arose from old self-cabotage but just go to show how sticky they can be. I dealt with them but it got me thinking… Sprout-sized food for thought: The power of labelling to undermine achieving your health goals. The past version of Dave would have allowed that label of ‘lazy’ to stick and it would have achieved two things. The first and perhaps most obvious, to add to the weight of self-criticism (cabotage) that would burden me day in day out – not great. The second, perhaps less obvious; it allowed me to avoid digging into the truth and underlying causes of so called ‘laziness’. In this week’s video I share some thoughts on labelling and how it can short-cut the harder work of listening – to ourselves, not to mention others. #weightmanagement #weightloss #weightlossjourney #coach #midlifecoach #midlifewomen #midlifemen
