Recently I've found it hard to do the things I outlined in my last post. Turns out staying focused and planning your day etc all takes energy and time. It's much easier to let the distractions in and then wonder what the heck you've managed to do all day. Each time it starts with great intentions and I do the things I plan to do, but as the week progresses things fall to the wayside and then it turns into "Well, I didn't exercise yesterday, so might as well just wait until next week's cycle". It's just excuses, I know, but they are just too delicious and easy to swallow than the alternative of telling myself "you missed yesterday, so just leave it at that and carry on with today". But boy that takes energy and sometimes I am just a bit too tired to "boost" myself like that.
Then there's this magical time when you think things will change. Like "next week I'll do X", or "when the holidays start I'll make changes". WHAT'S WRONG WITH TODAY???
Pull yourself together, make a plan, ignore your weak mind telling you that it's OK to have another day off and just stick with the program. How else are things going to change, eh?
Why is it always easier to break out of a routine than stay in one? Stupid brain being difficult. Let's not just complain to an anonymous blog, but actually do something about it.
