Sometimes self-belief is enough to push past a difficult moment. In the moments when, it’s really hard to go work out, or prepare a healthy meal feels like it’s slipping away the more time passes. Maybe the full water bottle that is just sitting there as though it was a stage prop rather than a beverage to drink. In those moments it is possible to rely on self-determination to get it done. I had a moment like this last night…
We went to dinner and show, it was late when we got home and I still had not worked out. The choice was to have a scoop of ice cream and hang out or go work out; otherwise, I would break my 19 week-streak of working out every day. So, I worked out. Now that the choice is in the past, it’s easy to forget how hard it was in the moment. I am finding, when that happens, it’s best just to say, “Enough, let’s go.” and lean into healthy habits.
