CAN’T
If there is one word I could strike from the English language it would be this one. The only reason you can’t do something is because you tell yourself you can’t and you believe you can’t.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking at the Strive for Strength Annual Retreat in Sacramento, California. What a special group of ladies and teens this is! A group of women dedicated to the cause of young girls ages 12-18. Imagine spending one day of spring break drinking from the fountain of positivity and learning life skills that inform, educate and empower you.

Last week I had the incredible opportunity to travel all over this great country and speak for three Universities that understand the importance of bringing more awareness to eating disorders. Drug and alcohol awareness are mandatory programs for most universities, but one of my goals is to help them understand that eating disorders are just are critical and need the same level of attention, if not more.
You don’t hear men talking about how they wish they were built like Joe who is tall and thin, or Moe who has a solid muscular build. Just thinking about that makes me laugh. Can you hear the conversation of guys at a bar over beers pointing at a Zac Ephron type on the dance floor saying “Oh man, I wish I was built like Zac. I’ve simply got to hit the gym more and eat less so I can look just like Zac because that’s what the girls want.”
Truth be told, this is how most of us evaluate anything and everything we do. After all, what’s more important in life that taking care of your own needs, right? When you evaluate a buying decision, going to an event or party, contemplating a new job or doing volunteer work for an organization. The question whether it’s at a conscious level in your mind or not is always there.
