That's the
Attitude!!!
!!! It is so easy to forget how great it feels to workout!!
It takes
21 days to make a habit! You have to remind yourself of that!! I'm glad that you are using the weekend to catch up on life! It can easily get overwhelming!
And I'm definitely glad that you are re evaluating your goals!! I'm telling you, every day I get better and better, about my time usage, about my thoughts, about my goals, about ME!! This morning even, I woke up 30 mins before I usually do and started meditating at 6:45 am! Read a page of a good book, and used my 25 before bootcamp to just "BE".
Life can be overwhelming! We need quiet time to just listen. Listen to our thoughts, our breathing, our body, our goals, our LIFE!!! I was so awakened by the experience of living life before the day started that I have vowed to myself to make it a ritual. I'm sure it's going to be hard to get up even that much earlier,
BUT the rewards of doing a small task daily will outweigh the effort that it takes right now, throughout time! Think about, let's say I wake up 30 minutes earlier everyday to close my eyes, sit on the floor, think about my thoughts, dream, and just breath and be right... that means that in a month I will have given my mind the space to think of nothing and everything 144 hours in ONE YEAR!!! And if I increment that time to 1 hour, that would be 288 hours dedicated to your mind and figuring things out!!!! EVERYDAY!!!
Can you imagine!? A
SLIGHT EDGE difference, can make an enormous shift in our life! The same with working out. If you do just 30 mins daily, in one year you will have done 144 hours of working out!!! Can you imagine how much better you will feel after
COMMITTING TO YOURSELF that you are important enough to give yourself 30 mins a day! There are 24 hours in a day, and we CAN dedicate
30 mins!
I just finished reading a book called
The Slight Edge. I've actually read it several times. Each time there has been a gap of 6 months to a year that I read it right. Each time I am different, each time I have advanced some, took some steps back, gone forward again,...but I always see, that the one thing in life that
HOLDS ME BACK is daily discipline.
I sometimes feel like it's all or nothing with me too. Do it all, or do none. The reality is that small changes
MATTER!!! Think about a golf player, how much does that 2 centimeters to the left or to the right
impact the swing and the accuracy of the ball?!? Think about you with your volleyball, how much does hitting the ball 2 inches to the left versus 2 inches to the right really matter in whether or not you will make it to your target hit?? ...
It's VERY important!! That small shift can make it great or make it less great or even completely miss!
...
All I'm saying, is that the one thing that we have to realize is that SMALL SHIFTS IN BEHAVIOR MAKE HUGE SHIFTS IN OUR LIFE!!! It's time we allowed ourselves to reap the rewards of what the power of
DICIPLINED CONSISTENCY on the small shift scale can really do for us!!!
5 years saving every nickel you see on the floor, and how many nickels do you think you would have at the end?
Have you ever heard of people saying, "If I would have saved every nickel and penny I saw laying around! or If I would have been given a nickel every time I said that or heard that!"
Well.... Yes, ....what if, right?
And, what if you allow yourself to be better than you ever imagined because you appreciated what the power of a small daily shift can do for you?
Time will go on regardless... You can apply it to anything in life really...
-What will happen if you crack your nuckels every day over the period of 5 years?
-What will happen if you read 1 page of a good book that motivates you over the period of 5 years?
-What will happen if you take a 10 min walk with the dogs every day over the period of 5 years?
-What will happen if you go out one less time a month and put away to save those $25 dollars every month over the period of 5 years instead?
-What will happen if you tell yourself that you love yourself daily over the period of 5 years?
....If we think about it like this,
it's really those small things that can either make or break our happiness! Tony Robbins yesterday was saying to me in my coaching online from his website, that "We all have a blueprint to success in our mind. It's instilled since childhood. The formula to unhappiness is when what we have is not aligning with our premade blueprint for what our lives in all areas "should be". Then he said, If we could all stop SHOULDING ON OURSELVES, AND SHOULDING ON OTHERS, then we would be all right! hahaha! I laughed..
But he's very right!! If something is not aligning to where we want it to be, all it takes is a small daily shift towards where you want to go. The immediate action taken towards those goals, alleviates some of the discomfort of not completely being aligned with them at the moment. That's why
ACTION is so important! Action is like the asprin, that makes us feel so much better once taken! While taking it at first, the pain is still there,..but give it a little bit of time,...and the RELIEF settles in!!!

!!
WE can do this!!!
The daily slight EDGE!!! and BAM!!! WHO WILL YOU BE IN 5 YEARS~!?!?! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!!!
