Ready to stop living your Own Groundhogs Day?
Do you remember the 1993 movie with Bill Murray? If you do, then you know that he every morning he wakes up and the same thing happens over and over again. He’s desperate for his day to turn out differently but instead he does and says the same thing every day.
So be honest, how many Groundhogs Days do you have in front of the mirror? You know what I mean, frowning at the same thigh bulges or face wrinkles or whatever it is that you’ve decided is unattractive. We do this day after day after day. It can even alter our mood, what we wear and how we present ourselves to the world.
There are really only two options to stopping your own Groundhogs Day: First, you can just stop the self-criticizing. So what if you have (fill in the blank). We all have something. Accept it and move on. I know this is easier said than done but really, why make ourselves crazy?
Second, you can do something about it. Maybe this is something you can achieve through diet and/or exercise. If so, do it! Do it now! Why wait? Don’t be in this same place six months or a year from now.
If diet and/or exercise can’t fix what’s bothering you, then start researching cosmetic surgery. It is amazing how many times a patient comes in, finds out they are a great candidate for their chosen procedure, has it done and NEVER thinks about it again (except for how happy they are that they FINALLY did it). We hear from husbands after their wives have surgery and they gush “she never keeps me waiting to get ready anymore, she’s so happy with how she looks”. Patients will tell us after nasal reshaping “I don’t avoid mirrors or having my picture taken anymore. It never crosses my mind to hide my profile”.
If you are okay with that nagging, destructive and annoying self-criticizing exercise in front of the mirror every morning, then by all means keep living your own personal Groundhogs Day. But if you’re ready for your life to resemble a different movie outcome, we’re here to help.
