This is what I do:
The moment I detect a thought in my head such as: "Ah I don't feel like working out today," or "I'll do double the exercise tomorrow" or any other attempt to rationalize my way out of exercise, THAT is when I stop what I'm doing, go lace up my runners, and run out the door.
Learn to identify those lazy thoughts and ACT RIGHT THEN. Put your body in motion right at that instant. Soon you won't even THINK about thinking about not exercising.
If you convince yourself you can't do this, then maybe sit down and ask yourself honestly if you really want to be in good shape, if you really think it is worthwhile. Demand a firm YES or NO from yourself. You have to fully agree that you do indeed want to be a healthy person, or else it will always be a battle. |
