Break the Rules To Be a Success Becoming a rebel just may save you from insanity! The problem is….these rules may prevent you from creating real change. Here s a few examples…. Joanne made up character has a rule….she never leaves the house without make up…. ’ ( ) She decides she wants to start exercising in the morning before work so she can lose 5kg by summer. The first morning, she bounces out of bed and hits the gym. Make up on, all is well. The second morning…she lays in another 5 minutes…her body is sore…but she gets up, does her face, goes to gym. Day 3, alarm, snooze, alarm, snooze, alarm…oh crap! She realises she s left it too late to do her face AND get to the gym AND get to work in time… So she just doesn t go. ’ ’ The same thing happens on day 4. By day 7, she feels as though all is lost. She gives up. Her face looks amazing each day…but her body is suffering! And she is still depressed… The fact is…if nothing changes, nothing changes! I know this is a really corny example…but you see what I am saying, right? Is it a matter of life or death if Joanne left the house without make up? It s a resounding, NO! ’ I have deliberately chosen to use a really corny, really silly reason to make you realise….your self imposed rules…may be just as silly and they are genuinely holding you back.
