Today was a great day! It started off with some interval training at 6:45 AM on a beautiful path behind the old penitentiary that leads up to Table Rock. The scenery was majestic and as we got further along and took a look back over the Treasure Valley the sun was just rising over the hills casting a beautiful bright glow over everything we could see.What a fantastic way to start every day!
The most powerful part of the morning was simply not hitting the snooze button on my day off and getting past the first 10 minutes when your mind wrestles with the fact that it is very early and your bed is very comfortable. To actually get up and do something, in this case something phenomenal for mind, body and spirit, is powerful indeed.
What is on my mind right now? The fact that it is way too easy to just put things off. The crazy part that we all know too well; it takes action to counteract procrastination , if taken it will both empower us & improve our day.
With this in mind I am going to overcome 'Me'. I seem to be my biggest obstacle when it comes to taking action, taking initiative and doing things that will do nothing but improve my quality of life or my families as well.
Has anyone out there ever had these thoughts or just me?
So, over the next few articles I will share with you how I am doing with many aspects that I think all people struggle with. Firstly, regular fitness training, like 3 to 5 times per week. Secondly, eating habits, all of them. I have committed to myself, my wife and family to get back in great shape. Not just for a few weeks or the summer but as a life style. I will have to get extreme to do this but I know in my heart that this is the time to do it; RIGHT NOW! Regardless of all that life throws at me.
All of this falls in line with a life full of order! This is not so easy when we are barraged by worldly challenges. I'm OK with that because ultimately none of us know how long we have so we should maximize each day.
Stay tuned... If you are currently embarking on an endeavor along these lines please comment back and let me know. The more people we can be accountable to the better.
