How (Don’t vs Can’t) Can Be Positive
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A study I heard recently was about 3 groups of 10 people

They were given the challenge to exercise each day

One group was told each day to tell themselves “I can’t miss a workout.”

Another group was told to tell themselves each day “I don’t miss a workout.”

The third group was told not to say anything to themselves.

The results were fascinating.

Of the group that told themselves “I don’t miss a workout”; 8 out of 10 did not miss a workout
👇
The group that told themselves “I can’t miss a workout” 1 out of 10 did not miss a workout

Of the group who told themselves nothing 3 out of 10 did not miss a workout

Study concluded that the word “can’t” ties back to a choice whereas the word “don’t” tied back to identity

👇
Begin to tell yourself “I don’t miss ________” and it will start to become your identity for the majority of you (according to research).

Fill in the blank for whatever your objective or accomplishment you are seeking this year.

👇
Turn the word “don’t” into something positive that starts to form your identity and quit consciously or subconsciously telling yourself that your resolve is a choice.
