When I wonder why I am doing something I always go back to my goals. If it is helping me reach my goal then I don’t tell myself that I can’t be bothered or don’t enjoy it. You can’t screw up your face or drag your feet. You can’t keep thinking of ways to avoid it. I have had a lot of success doing things that are traditionally thought of as hard or boring by being more positive in my thinking about them. It’s not the moment we reach our goal that is important. It is all the fun living that we do on the journey towards the goal that we have to focus on. I’m not trying to be healthy in six months time by doing exercises I don’t enjoy or love to do every day. I am feeling more healthy every day as I do exercises that I can’t wait to do each day. After six months I am more healthy but I have also spent six months of my life doing something I enjoy. I try to look at everything that way now. I have to find a way to enjoy the journey if the goal is worthwhile.

I wish I could keep this thought on loop in my head!

Well done for starting with one.

People underestimate the huge power of 1 step. That's how you create disruption.

Well done!

These days I’d be good to commit to 1 squat and 1 sit up a day for 3 days a week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Even that and showing up to write will help us see what we will become as we fulfill what we started.

Best to you

Yep, breaking it down to small steps that aren't daunting can work.

Best of luck to you too! 💪
