There is this old saying that says- “My get up and go has got up and went.” I always thought that was funny until I realized recently that is exactly how I feel. I’ve actually given it quite a bit of thought as to why I seem to be so motivated for some things, and yet others (like exercise) seem to be like pulling teeth to get me motivated to do.
It finally hit me earlier today that I think the reason is because my mind has been so busy with constant thoughts that I really am tired mentally and it’s making me too tired to consider exercise. Ok- I do ‘consider’ it- but that’s about as far as it goes. I am going to try to figure out a way around this and adapt the catch phrase- ‘just do it’. If it works for Nike- it should work for me. I know I’ll feel much better- both mentally and physically and my body will thank me.
Now to put those words into practice.
