Today's objective: pay it forward with a word of encouragement
Chances are that if you are sticking to your routine and seeing results, other people might give you a compliment. If they ask you how you're doing it, this is a prime time not only to tell them but to give them a word of encouragement. I'm a firm believer in that statement "since I can do it, you can." (Results will vary, of course!)
The tools presented here on the blog will work if you use them. This aspect of a program of maintenance and weight loss is another tool: encouraging other people helps you stay encouraged!
Passing on the message to people who might need it is a great way to start a community of people who are focused on health and wellness. In turn, these people are going to support you in your efforts. It may be hard to reach out and say "hey, I think you may need this," because you don't want to offend people. That's why the best way to get your foot in the door is if they come to you for advice or ask what your secret is.
But it doesn't have to stop with weight loss. Encourage people or compliment then for other things, as well. We are all along life's path. We all need encouragement on the road to heaven.
In that light, may you who are reading know of my prayers for you. Keep up your resolves! May this time of preparation for Christmas bless you richly. Just please pass on the message!
