Oh. My. Goodness. I almost forgot to write a blog today! If it hadn't been for my incredible, handsome, loving and caring boyfriend, I would never have thought about it! (by the way, check out his very own daily blog, from which I stole the idea....www.AdamGodfrey.com).
I had a crazy day at work today, and that's what I blame for my absent-mindedness. You see, I misplaced a very important folder that contained very important information. I subsequently spent over two hours tearing my office apart looking for it, only to come up empty-handed and nearly in tears. I had just sat down in my office chair and let out a huge sigh when my dad walked in, asked if I still hadn't found the item, proceeded toward the file cabinet, opened a drawer, tinkered around for approximately 27 seconds, and casually said, "Here it is." Jeesh! I hate when stuff like that happens...but I'm glad he found it.
I absolutely did not want to workout today after all the stress. It was actually the last thing I wanted to do. But I forced myself off the couch and dragged my sorry butt to the front of the TV screen and did the full 30 minutes of the Jillian Michels 30 Day Shred. I actually felt better after I did it, but boy, I really had to get over my emotions telling me I didn't feel like it.
It was a small victory, but I'll take it and celebrate just the same.
What do you do during those times when you don't feel like doing the thing that you need to do the most? Maybe it's eating right, exercising, housework...whatever. How do you make yourself do it? Or do you?
Honestly, I can go both ways. Sometimes I lack the will power or the drive to pull through and do something I don't want to do. But other times I force myself and feel great about it. I just have to work at making sure the times I force myself are more frequent than the times I let it slide and opt for laziness.
