NSV Discipline and habit

Options
Tonight I was not able to get to the gym as we are having some icy conditions where we are at. I told myself no big deal I can do some taebo and strength training exercises at home. Well once I got home put the groceries away and played with the dog then sat on the couch for a few I started getting that little voice in my head saying "just skip it tonight you deserve the rest".Then I thought of a post that was on here about motivation vs. disipline and habit and how it really resonated with me that it's not the lack of motivation but the lack of discipline and habit. So I told myself "you deserve to workout cause it feels wonderful once you do so JUST DO IT". WORKOUT DONE!!!! Discipline and habit who would have thought.

    And THAT'S how you'll accomplish your goals. Great job motivating yourself, & great job being flexible enough to still get work in when the weather became an obstacle........
