I spent a few hours with my cousin who I don't get to see as much and he pointed out that I say "I can't" a lot. I repeatedly tried to deny it because I had never noticed it. But throughout the day, I began to hear myself say it and sometimes it was about the simplest things. I was shocked! I later asked my boyfriend if he noticed how often I used the phrase and he said yes! I thought to myself Uh-oh, time to do some digging here!
I realize that most of the things I say "I can't" about are the things that I am afraid of. Or things I don't think I can do. I limit myself and automatically assume that "I can't" before even trying it. Smh.
But it is going to stop! Starting today.
Here are some of my "I can't"s changed to "I can"s:
I can cook!
I can run a mile!
I can write a book!
I can have this difficult conversation!
What are some things you're not going to say anymore?
