In my new life and one of the things I have written about many times is the power of "no excuses"....I have applied it to exercise, and it moves mountains.....the other day I was saying to somebody close to me, that I was needing to get my workout in amid a list of other things....and they said why don't you just swap today out for Sunday, and make this your rest day......which seemed logical right? But that is how it happens......I truly believe that.....if you begin too often to make adjustments like that, or put it off, or make an excuse, well before you know it it isn't happening.....the power is in the consistency of the things we do....and found in our daily habits. So this morning finds me up earlier than I have been this summer....I have to take my car to Dickson City to get serviced.....and to be able to get my workout in beforehand, it required me to get up early....and I know that I won't be sorry for my efforts:) As soon as those feel good hormones find my bloodstream, I will know that sacrificing a little bit of sleeping in will be a distant memory......I am also going to make the phone calls at the dealership while I am waiting that I need to....and bring my computer to hopefully get some writing done......so I have applied the no excuses mentality to exercise and some other parts of my life.....but I have more work to do....like a lot.......excuses hold us back.....no question.....they keep us from doing and accomplishing what we need to.....and when they arise they need to be challenged.....as often as we can.....and I do not mean in an unnatural or workaholic way....where we keep challenging ourselves to always be busy, or productive.....or doing doing doing......I do not mean that......I just mean we need to challenge the excuses that come between us and a goal we want.....because they are usually the thing that is holding us back....or showing us where our fear and self limiting beliefs lie.....listening to the message found in our excuses is very telling....so I try and listen when they come up, and challenge that space.....and I share this to maybe see where you can apply it to your own life? Where do you make excuses the most often.....I still have work to do......I want to make that really clear.....I am battling a whole bunch of excuses in moving forward in my business right now that I need to climb over;-) and I will.......and I am aware of the power found there, and will continue to fight to overcome them, one excuse at a time:) Enjoy the day:)
