It’s that day of the week that can either propel you successfully through to the weekend or you’re at your breaking point.
Listen, crap happens but that shouldn’t deviate your focus. We can choose to give up or push through. I choose to push through! My goal is to make the next day better than the last but the only way to achieve that is do as much today to make tomorrow that much easier. Because, in doing so you’ll have more time, energy and enthusiasm to take on the next day.
Today is that day in the middle of a work week (Wednesday); used in the context of climbing a proverbial hill to get through a tough week. So how do one get through a tough week? For me, when I feel like just saying’ F! it and order a pizza and stay in till Sunday, I simply choose to be productive.
Happiness, success and productive is a choice! In order to get over rough patches in life albeit, diet plateau, aching to skip a workout or others not holding up their end of the bargain or hearing the word “no” too many times in a day I and only I choose to move mentally and physically in a unproductive dark funk.
Whether I have huge triumphs or crapped up on some very important tasks I don’t end the day until I know I have done everything I could to turn the day around. No one can want more for you than you want for yourself therefore, it’s up to you to put your best foot forward to make the best out of each day.
The day isn’t over once you clock-out, I am always challenging myself to keep my momentum going pass Wednesday right beyond next week. Time don’t stop because I’m having a hard day and my goals are just going to be that much further away if I quit the day.
My mission this summer (daily) is to show other people how easy it is to boost our confidence and achieve our fitness/life goals.
Whether you’ve just trying to boost your current regime or out to create a better you, living your best self is the key to achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Don’t let things out of your control dictate your mood that will ultimate derail your success.
Schedule, Follow Through and Reward are three tips I use daily to track my effort, create accountability and keep my attitude towards my fails in check.
Schedule: Make a list off all the the things you want to accomplish that day, organize whats important and create a timeline.
Follow Through: Don’t put anything off, its okay to ask for help and get off your butt. Why put off something for tomorrow when you could do it today and experience that euphoric feeling of accomplishment that will fuel you to do even more.
Reward: When staying up beat and productive gets more exhausting that the actual things you have to do, reward yourself for what you can do or have done before the day is over. Treat yourself to a night out, buy yourself something or pick a day to sleep in and do nothing.
I’ve type this all to say… get up off your butt and do your squats because no one has ever wrote a song about a small ass. Choose success and happiness don’t let someone else choose it for you. You’re where you are in life because of your own doing.
