So I’ve been having self-discepline issues lately. I have time to do everything I need/want to do, I just haven’t been doing it. I know the biggest reason I haven’t been at it is because of my health. Specifically, my weight. Yes, I’m frightfully overweight, and it’s time to stop ling to myself about how it’s not that bad, or how I’m going to do something about it, and simply do it.
I really think Nike had something good with that saying in the 80’s. I’ve also always loved that saying “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog.” Lately I’m all about size and there’s been no fight. The worst part is that health effects everything else. Like mental stability and productivity.
My mental stability has actually been pretty good, which is honestly a bit off for me. I’ve always been a bit volatile and moody. Okay, so people close to me would laugh at that statement and cry foul at the words a bit. 😳 But you know what? I’m okay with being a a little moody if it brings back my passion for life again. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately because of my health issues and I came to a conclusion. I gave up. I’m not going to get into specifics on why I gave up today, but basically, I stopped caring about myself, my work, my life. There was no big traumatic event or heartbreak or anything that caused this to happen. It was something that happened over time, just like it took time for me to realize what I’d done, and get serious about fixing it.
So, I’m going to start off by building a To Do List, and get to work on crossing things off of it.
This weeks To List includes these things.
Health:
Eat breakfast every day. No skipping meals.
Exercise minimum of 3 days.
Writing:
Finish getting One Choice ready for submission.
Put together erotic proposal.
Me Time:
Read at least one new book.
After I’ve had my min 3 workouts, I ‘m getting a pedicure!
I think I understand, hon, very well.
And especially when health issues are involved. They color everything else.
Best of luck with The List, fingers crossed! 😀
Best of luck with the list. Try your best to think positive which I know is hard to do with health issues.
