I have been reading Bethanny Frankel’s new book, and for those of you who do not know who that is she was on the NY Housewives, all the Bethanny series on Bravo, and she is the creator of the “skinny girl” margarita.
In one chapter of her book she talks about the “noise” in our head, basically it is the negative comments or thoughts that go through our head that make us believe or try to believe that we can’t accomplish what we want in life.
Shut off the “noise” and believe in yourself and what you are doing! Be who you want to be, and don’t let your “noise” stand in the way of your potential!
I used to have a lot of “noise” that went on in my head! I wasn’t good enough, I wasn’t smart enough, and I definitely wasn’t thin enough. I always felt that I wasn’t smart enough to accomplish the things in life that I wanted. When I married my husband I figured he would be the successful one, and I would be there to support him; that was my noise!
I slowly (very slowly at some points), began to overcome my noise. I started to believe in myself and my accomplishments and really face challenges head on. Sure enough, I was good enough, smart enough, and in shape enough and all I had to do was over power my noise.
It has taken many years, but I am now at the point in my life where I believe in myself and my cause so much that my noise can no longer get to me.
I am not going to lie and say that I don’t have bad days, or days where I want to quit on myself and settle but my positive days have many more deposits than the negatives and my “bank” is full of accomplishments, goals, and dreams; not a pity party of cannot’s and wont’s.
So make today your day to shut off the “noise” in your head and focus on the great person you are and are going to be!
Your “noise” will change throughout your life, and when situations or life gets hard your “noise” sometimes sounds like a blow horn! Shut it off and have the confidence in yourself to get through it. The more you over come these trying situations, the more the noise becomes powerless.
Fit ones, recognize your “noise” and over power it with who you are and who you want to be…..
What noise do you want to shut off?
