My New Motto

jezzi4ever · July 2011

I know this isn't original, but I thought about it today while doing w5d3 of c25k. (Which, at minute 8, was kicking my butt...but by the end, was manageable.)

"The harder I work today, the easier it will be tomorrow."

So, when I'm working out and about to give up, or thinking of giving up--I can think of that, and think that it will be so much easier tomorrow and the days to come, as long as I work hard today.

Also--it can apply to other parts of my life too, getting housework done (do it today, so tomorrow will be easier), grading papers (do them NOW, don't wait until you have a backup) etc.

I think I'm going to make a bracelet with it written on it--just a daily reminder!!

Anyone else have a motto that they workout by?

Love the idea of a bracelet! That's a good one to live by. I don't have a favorite motto but I try to think of one possitve or good thing in the morning and concentrate on that. Instead of seeing the negative I can think of my positve thought and keep going!

I wasn't even looking for a motto but while running I started to feel like I wasn't going to finish, and I just started telling myself "you got this" and it's what I say to myself now to keep going.
