    Excuses: Say NO to But!

    Replace your excuses with commitments!

    Just as with the “mind viruses” mentioned previously, we all have common phrases we’ve
    picked up from our families and cultures that are nothing more than excuses. By becoming aware of
    them, questioning them, and changing the way we view the underlying fears behind them, we can
    change the way we think and empower ourselves!
    When you catch yourself saying “but…” it’s a signal that you’re about to make an excuse for why
    you’re not living your life the way you want—on purpose! Catch yourself and rephrase your excuse into
    positive affirmation that will help you stay committed.

    Which of the following common “buts” has held you back in the past?

    ___ But, it’s too hard. ___ But, it’s too risky.
    ___ But, it’ll take too long. ___ But, it’s overwhelming.
    ___ But, I don’t have time. ___ Other

    __________________________________________

    For each excuse you commonly use, write positive affirmation statement. For example, change
    “I don’t have time” to “I make time for what is important to me.”
