Just Do It!

My inspiration for you today is this... do the RIGHT thing, no matter what you FEEL like doing!

How many times have you said "I'm going to start eating really healthy," or "I'm going to organize my closet," OR "I'm going to work 7 hours today instead of the normal 5"... and then you didn't follow through because you just didn't FEEL like it?  It happens to the best of us, and it happens every day!

Recently, I have had the desire to lose some weight and for whatever reason, I have never had a difficult time commiting to excercise.  However, I do talk and talk about how I need to or am going to eat better, cut back on carbs, blah blah blah... and 2 days later, I find myself giving in to the dessert in front of my face.  This is the story of my dieting life and I'm sure many of you can relate.

So, I am telling you the same thing I have recently told myself.  Sometimes, you just have to do the RIGHT thing, even though you don't want to.  If you wait for that feeling... it is never going to come.  That is because so often, doing the RIGHT thing is the HARD thing and we don't want to have to do anything that's hard.

So, whatever it is that you are struggling with right now, I hope today's blog will inspire you to suck it up, quit waiting on the feeling that's never gonna come and just DO IT!  The feeling that will eventually come is the pride you have in yourself for your accomplishing something great!

Nike's got nothing on me! :)  This is GOOD STUFF and not to mention, it's free!

Happy Wednesday!
