Secrets

How are secrets effecting your life?  What are you carrying with you that you don't want people to find out about?  How are those secrets keeping you from being all that you can be?
I have been studying these questions with a group of ladies and am surprised how easily and quickly we answer "I don't have any secrets."  But upon further consideration we all found that we had many secrets that we have carried with us, in some cases, since childhood.  Maybe it's something that happened in the family, things we did when we were younger that were not so proud of now, things we've been involved in, the list goes on and on.  What I would like for you to think about is: What secrets do I have that I wouldn't want ______________ to find out about?  Write them down (and yes you can keep them in a safe place).  Then think about the impact keeping these secrets is having on your life; your relationships, your health, your weight loss journey, etc.  Write that down too.  Then think about what is the worst thing that would happen if this secret were revealed or discovered?  Write it down.  How would you feel if your secrets were not secret anymore?  And last, how is keeping the secret negatively impacting your life and how would revealing the secret positively impact your life?  Write it down. I want to challenge you to do this activity and really think about the secrets (we all have them) and answering each question and writing down your thoughts on paper.  Then I dare you to go back and read over everything after a few days and see what insight you may deem from your own words.  Please leave a comment to let me know what thoughts you have, I would love to hear from you.
