Just for Today:I will focus on ideas vs reality, or what I like to call "The Rear View Mirror Principle".
During the day a lot of thoughts and ideas come to me: "I want to have a fuzzy sock day. I want to lay in bed all day and read a book. I want to eat junk food. I want to watch movies that I haven't watched in a while. Exercise is too hard. Eating right sucks. A nap would be more fun the a stroll on the dreadmill." Last night, post workout, I read someone's status that they were trying to get up the enthusiam for a workout, but a nap sounded better. It struck me how often (Most minutes of every day) I have the same thoughts. But having already completed my workout for the day, I was able to honestly say, that although the idea of the nap is better going forward, the reality of the workout is way better in the rear view mirror. What do you want to see in your rear view mirror at the end of the day?0 -

I want to see the results of my not giving in to peer (family) pressure, bad habits and stinkin' thinkin' (telling myself I can't do things or they're too hard, or I'm too tired, etc).0 -
