TIPS
Just lace up. Yeah, you’re dreading the upcoming workout. But don’t even think about it. Just lace up and head out the door. That’s all. After that, let nature take its course. Just relax and do what comes naturally. Which is exercise.
Join a race. Signing up for a 5K or a triathlon are my favorite motivators. It really gets me to do my workouts because if I don’t, I will look like a dork by collapsing 5 minutes after the starting gun goes
“It is exercise alone that supports the spirits, and keeps the mind in vigor.”
~Marcus Tullius Cicero
Theme – courage
Definition-The attitude of facing and dealing with anything recognized as dangerous, difficult, or painful, instead of withdrawing from it; quality of being fearless or brave.
Thoughts on the theme- Do you have courage? Do you have the courage to follow through? Do you have the courage to wake up, face the day with a smile, and head into the world with bearing and fortitude? Do you have the courage to not let obstacles keep you from your destiny? Do you have the courage to look back on yourself with positive thoughts? I think you do! Give yourself enough love to do the right thing–even when the wrong thing looks so good. You have been given the opportunity of choice, the presence of thought, and the aftermath of infinity, go forth and be great!!!!!
