\"kickGreetings, Hello, Hola, Que Pasa Tushkateers!?!\u00a0 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I know, I know…I wasn’t going to send out the BIG Tuesday Kick in the Tush again till after Labor Day weekend ’cause I’m on a vacation of sorts (vacation from doing too much–determined to just hang out, float, look for mountain lions, et cetera), but this morning, while taking a long walk through the desert (yes, this is the desert; no, I wasn’t walking the Sahara)<\/i> with Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/i><\/a> by my side (always)<\/i>, she and I were (once gain)<\/i> discussing the difference between trying to control the day, control our lives, control what we eat and creating a kick tush day.\u00a0 That’s right–the difference between control and create–and it became abundantly clear that the answer to our struggles is to not struggle.<\/p>\n

Ohhhh…I like that:\u00a0 The Answer to Our Struggles is to NOT Struggle<\/b>!\u00a0 Simple enough.\u00a0 How to do that?\u00a0 How to put a new spin on the topic, create a fresh take?\u00a0 Explore the words Control and Create!\u00a0 Ready? Okay!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The word: Control<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 \u2013<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to Webster\u2019s dictionary control means to exercise restraint; to hold in check; curb; to eliminate or present the flourishing or spread of.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but when I look at those words, especially \u201cexercise constraint\u201d \u2013 I\u2019m like ‘get me outta\u2019 here.\u00a0 It sounds restrictive and feels exhausting.\u00a0 My world view starts to close in on me.\u00a0\u00a0 Did you have a similar visceral reaction to the word \u2018control?’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The words we use are important and if one doesn\u2019t \u2018fit\u2019 our psyche, best we look for a new word, a new experience, a new way to frame and reframe.\u00a0 Create a new empowering perspective!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than trying to control food, control our habits, control our thoughts and ourselves; let\u2019s look at the word create.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Create<\/i><\/b> \u2013 (Source: Webster\u2019s Dictionary) to bring into existence\u00a0 (God created the heaven and the earth. \u2014 Genesis 1:12) to produce or bring about by a course of action or behavior to make or bring into existence something new.\u00a0 Wow!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t the word create <\/i>feel expansive?\u00a0 Doesn’t it sound like we are more likely to succeed if we move out of control and straight into create? Can you feel the door to infinite possibility opening? (I hear creaking noises; does it need to be oiled?)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Control vs. Create<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Control = constrictive, limiting
\nCreate = expansive, limitless<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of battling Control, Let\u2019s CREATE!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Today, let\u2019s choose to be CREATORS.\u00a0 Let\u2019s open up to the possibilities and create a fun-filled, fabulous, healthful day!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
