Resolution Reflections: Can You Believe It?

So as we wrap up the January Resolution Support Group and Giveaway, you may be wondering: Believe what?  Believe in the invincibility of San Francisco Bay Area sports teams? Nah, the photo above was just a handy image to use--although as a Bay Area native, I've gotta say: Go 'Niners! What I actually mean by "it" is: Believe in Your Own Incredible Ability to Change Your Life for the Better. And yeah, so why is a self-confessed cranky foul-mouthed skeptic getting all trite and sappy and urging you to believe in yourself? I know, it's kinda creepy. And possibly annoying.  (On the other hand, readers of Cranky Fitness are renowned for their patience and ability to withstand even the most annoying of blog posts.) But as I am slowly but surely rewiring my ornery pessimistic brain circuits, I'm discovering that perky hopeful neural connections seem to work a hell of a lot better than grumpy ones when it comes to getting shit done.  And I'm really appreciating the amazing impact that positive expectations can have. Or, if not always positive, at least open-minded and curious.  (Despite much progress, I still have a crapload of work yet to do myself). One thing I have no doubt about?  The whole "things will suck and there's nothing I can do about it" mindset is Not Helpful At All.  Do you sometimes have trouble really believing deep down that things will go well for you?  How do you rewire a skeptical brain to be more positive and hopeful?...
