When I moved to Indiana, my entire fitness schedule was thrown out the window. I had the habit of exercising every day, but the structure was gone. Some days were especially difficult because I just don’t enjoy working out alone. But, I did it anyway. There are things that we can do that set us up for a successful day/week, so we don’t feel like we need a giant surge of motivation to propel us forward every time we have to do things we don’t want to do.
Here’s my question: Do you need a buddy? Do you need someone to be accountable to today? What is your intention? Maybe it’s not even for working out. Maybe you have something to accomplish today that you don’t necessarily want to do.
Did you know that a lot of times when we talk about self care, we think about manicures, pedicures, spas, vacation, and other luxuries. Self care is taking some extra time to do things for yourself so you are better equipped to handle your future. Yes, having a vacation or a mani/pedi appointment falls under the self care category, but so does prepping your meals, planning your workouts for the week, cleaning, organizing, adulting. Although, it may not be as palatable to do, it also can fall under the category of self care.
So who needs some motivation today? Who needs to be accountable? I do! Comment and tell me what you need to do today to put your mind and body in a better place for the future. Writing down your intentions here will encourage accountability and help you be more successful. Go ahead and try me! I will check on you, and expect a full report.
So what is it? What can you do to set you up for smoother sailing this week?
