Let me share something that has come up for me that I forgot to mention in my last post...

I thought I was "just" lazy and unmotivated. But in the course of this trial it has come to my attention that I am not physically able to accomplish all the things I want to do. I used to get tired and then flop down and think "I'm tired". Tired felt like an excuse for lazy, so I didn't realize there was work I needed to do to bring up my energy level. These days when I get tired I put it in the negative. This started with things like "I am not rested" and "I am not energetic" but gradually I realized the root of the problem and shifted to "I am not healthy" "I am not fit" "I am not strong" "I don't have high stamina". I feel like I am now on my way to better health.

It's amazing how all these positive potential states were masked by focusing on "tired".
