In my past job I worked with children and their families and I always had to except when those I worked with made choices that weren’t the best or healthiest choices. I would tell myself often *”I CAN ONLY HELP THEM HELP THEMSELVES”* or say it right to them “I’m here to HELP YOU help YOURSELF”.
It used to really bother me when they had that ability, understanding, & ‘know how’ to make the choices that were “better choices” but would make bad choices frequently. Oh…how frustrating that would be on my end.
….But again I would have to remind myself I can only help those who help themselves. This has carried over into my ‘lifestyle health and fitness job’. I can only help those who are ready and willing to help themselves.
It’s like nailing jello to a tree if I try and try to convince someone or try to ‘will’ someone to make better choices WHEN they’re NOT ready. So I encourage you to ask yourself are you ready to help yourself? Because if you TRUELY are then I AM READY TOO!! ππ»πππππ»
