I told myself like 7 different times today to skip my workout after work. I kept telling myself I was too tired and that I could make up for it tomorrow. I decided to just do the stupid workout anyway, and I'm convinced that 95% of motivation is just forcing yourself to do shit you don't want to do.
I'm constantly walking that fine line of "Push myself to workout?" Or "I'm over 45, I need to take today off." Currently nursing tennis elbow...
Getting old sucks. I had a conversation with one of my residents at work. He’s 97. He said, “The worst part about being 97 is that everyone I used to care about is dead. I keep going to sleep and I keep waking up. I don’t even know why. I wish I wouldn’t.” So there’s that to look forward to.
It’s called discipline. You don’t always have to “enjoy” the process. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Yup, it's always better to just start the thing even if you don't want to. 9 times out of 10, it was just your brain trying to convince you out of it
100%. I mean, I’m glad I worked out. But sometimes the lazy part of my brain tries to win.
The question is always: Will this kill me? The answer 99.9% of the time is: No. So, just do it and get it over with. I'm going to go do the workout that probably won't kill me right now. 😒
Hey, good luck not dying!
Cheers!
