I’ve come to understanding about myself that’s
freeing . . . and just good to know: I need commitment. I need to have an obligation or
a promise to keep in order to excel and get things done.
This revelation comes after years of doing things
based on whether I felt like doing them or not: it’s the double-edged sword of
being a “feely” type person. On the one hand, I can grasp the emotional climate
of situations and act or react accordingly. Conversely, if I’m not feelin' it; I ain’t doin’ it! This aspect of who I am has helped me tremendously in
making people connections. But then there’s the thing of getting things done that I
don’t “feel” like doing . . . like exercise!
Quite frankly I hate exercise – can’t stand it!
The idea of lifting weights, running and so forth just connotes – BORING! Yet
the statistics (and my rotund belly) show that if I don’t exercise and eat
well, I’ll probably check out of earth far earlier than I need to. Now I
don’t know about you, but I’m rather enjoying my stay here – thank you very
much!
So I’ve joined BCS Fitness’s 12 Week Challenge . . . again! I’d joined
two years ago, I wasn’t making as much progress as I thought and after about three 12 Week Challenges, I dropped
out (with the foggy notion that I could do this thing on my own). Do you see
the inherent flaw in the logic here? Yeah: I – who confessedly can’t stand
exercise – was going to do this on my own. Yeah right!
Well after two years of being off the bandwagon
(and subsequently regressing), I’m back on board and I’m very grateful for it.
The moral of the story here: do what you gotta do
to get what you gotta get done done! Give yourself permission to go outside of yourself to find solution.
Having marriage problems – get counseling;
Having money problems – get connected with someone
who’s smart with money;
Have a drinking problem – join Alcoholics
Anonymous
Bored in life – take a class and explore
something!
Well that’s my 2 cents worth of wisdom,
Peace and love to you!
