Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Let's talk today about something that most people just really don't want to do.

Stick with me.

There is good news.

There is light at the end of this tunnel. There is a pot of gold

at the end of this rainbow. Even though it's something that we want to hide from, we want to avoid,

we want to throw our head in the sand over. I know this as a coach. I mean, I can't say for

everybody, but this is true for many, many people.

In order to go to the next level, whatever that is for you, you need to accept where you

currently are. Now, why don't we want to do this? Now, let me just think of a couple of examples here.

Okay, maybe you want to lose weight, for example, but you don't want to get on the scale and know how

much you currently are today. Or maybe you have a big savings goal, but right now you're in debt

and you don't want to look at your credit card

statements because they're too painful and uncomfortable. You can see in both of these situations,

there is a dream or a desire or a goal, and yet we want to deny reality. We want to look the other

way. We don't want to pay attention. Let me tell you why we do this.

The reason we do it, it's a form of self-rejection. And the reason we want to bury our head in the sand

versus face reality today is because we think that if we reject it, if we avoid it, then it

doesn't even have to be real. It doesn't even

have to be the basis with which we are now making moves. When we reject when we currently are,

we don't even want to look at it. It's almost as if we're making it a non-reality. We can think

on some level, or maybe it doesn't quite exist if I don't weigh myself
