Sometimes the most difficult part of anything we ever do is starting. Honestly I'd rather just sit my butt right here and not do anything......but that would get boring really quick. Although I may hate the idea of beginning something (regardless of whether I've done it once, a few times, a gazzillion times or never at all) I always feel some much better once I've completed that task. It just takes me getting started.
I try to motivate myself....pump myself up......yes, like Hans and whatever that other guy's name is. It is important to be encouraged and it isn't always practical to have someone else there to tell you. Take steps to become self sufficient in your own motivation. Write it down, put it on your calendar, send yourself a message.....whatever helps just do it!
So this morning I needed to go for a 10 mile run to get geared up for the marathon in a few weeks. (truthfully I needed to run more but haven't been up to running in the cold) So I needed to run 10 miles, felt like running only 5......started to make excuses while I'm running that I would do more later.....you know that aint gonna happen. So I ended up doing a Forest Gump and ran a half marathon distance (13 miles) before work......felt great!
Just do it my friends.....you will be self motivated!
