Tonight, I am going to keep it short and say push through it! And by it, I mean that excuse that is keeping you from what you want to do or what you need to do. It is easier said than done, I 100% know it. And I won’t lie to you. Sometimes, I let the excuses get me, and the next day, I kick myself for it. Who else? Anyone?
This morning, I woke up happy as a clam, bouncing and singing and just getting thru my day. Then orders came in, phones rang, life drama came, and threw a punch. It really just knocked the wind out of my sails. I got home tired and defeated, just wanting to binge tv or read and eat something sweet.
But as I sat there, I looked at my calendar on the wall. It’s counting days til my cruise. It also keeps track of other things like days I work out and days I work on my business. And you know what I saw, I saw blank squares this week. One would be ok but not two or three. I couldn’t let today win. I had to win the day.
Took me a few mental minutes to talk and remind myself that I am working on change. Change takes discipline and mental toughness to work when you are tired or to eat an orange when you want a chocolate shake. I snapped out of it and was able to accomplish a lot in the last few hours. Cleaned my room, did some new layouts for my Etsy Shop, and worked on my website. But the toughest thing for me today was getting in that 30 minute work out! Had to literally punch my way thru it. I huffed and puffed, but getting to the stretches at the end was so worth it because I didn’t give in or give up. And here’s the proof. Just a little over an hour ago.
Somedays, if you make it home and to bed, that is all you can do. Some days are rougher than others, but are you at your max? Is there more you can give so that you get something out of the day? Is there gas in your tank you could use to go just a bit farther? Don’t let that Debbie downer or Nancy naysayer voice in your head give you excuses not to give it your all. Push through my friends, we have more to give!! We have more to accomplish!!
