Letter to Self, Embarking on a Life Change

This letter is written to help inspire a healthy life change. I use this method to be mindful of the reasons why I am making a change, and that the outcome is based on my thoughts and actions.

You can read each letter as written to you, OR you can read it as you are speaking it to yourself. Do what works for you!

Note: I am writing these letters as I begin a weight loss program called BodySlims. I’ve done it before and I can do it again. These are messages I read to remind myself that I can do anything, that I am strong, and that change is within my power through the actions that I take.

Dear (your name here),

As you embark on this new journey, I want to remind you of the incredible strength and resilience you possess. Beginning something new can be both exhilarating and intimidating, filled with unknowns and uncertainties. It's natural to feel a mix of emotions as you step into this unfamiliar territory.

I urge you to approach this journey with an open heart and a gentle spirit. Adapting to change takes time, and it's okay to feel uncertain along the way. Embrace each challenge as an opportunity for growth and discovery.

Remember that progress is not always linear. There will be highs and lows, triumphs and setbacks, but each step forward, no matter how small, is a victory in itself. 

Remember that the next choice – your next decision is yours to make. The power is in your hands. In the midst of change, it's important to have grace with yourself. This doesn't mean taking shortcuts or doing things your own way. It means extending kindness and understanding to yourself as you navigate this new path.

Be patient with yourself and trust in your ability to adapt and thrive.

As you journey forward, remember to celebrate your successes, no matter how small. Each milestone is a testament to your determination and resilience.

Surround yourself with love and support and lean on others when you need encouragement. You are not alone on this journey, and together, we will overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

Believe in yourself. Believe in your strength, your courage, and your unwavering spirit. You can achieve anything you set your mind to, and I am confident that you will emerge from this journey stronger, wiser, and more empowered than ever before.

I believe in you . . .
