Have you ever had the “What If’s?”
You know…what if this happened? What if that happened?
Have the “What If’s” ever stopped you from doing or starting something?
For the participants in the STRONG study, this was their biggest hurdle to getting started.
What if I’m the only one who can’t do the exercise?
What if my heart rate goes too high?
What if I hurt myself?
What if I’m the fattest person in the group?
All participants know that the study is backed by research and fact.
All participants know the trainers have been specifically trained to work with those with, or at risk of, Type II Diabetes.
Tackling the “What If’s” can be tricky but as one participant shared with me…
Imagine if we replaced the words “WHAT IF” with “IF” and “THEN”!
So instead of saying “WHAT IF this happens”, change it to “IF this happens, THEN I’ll deal with it”.
A great lesson in attitude for all of us.
