A body at rest tends to remain at rest.
A body in motion tends to remain in motion.
Like – YOUR body.
Do the important things that will make a difference in your life that you have been putting off.
Sometimes, to work out, taking the step of putting your workout clothes on is the first domino. Then just go to the place you workout. If you just do those simple things, you will find yourself working out.
Or you clear your desk and put in front of you the information and things you need to write what you need to. Then shut your phone off. Then sit down. Then type the first word….
Or you make the ingredients list for the project and put them in order. Then get the first thing you’ll need. Then the second. Then clear a work space…. pretty soon – you’re doing it.
What is important that needs to get done? It’s become a wall in your mind. Break through that wall by taking the very first very simple step…and you are on your way.
Another good one….I have gotten out of the routine of working out but I know I need to. This w as a good kick in the pants.
In case you or your subscribers haven’t heard about it this principle is covered in depth in the book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. The book teaches how to make, or break, habits by doing small things consistently and using triggers to point you in the right direction. Taking the first step in the right direction consistently every day is essential to successfully accomplishing one’s goals.
SPOOKY post for Halloween, Larry!
All the way to work this morning, I was thinking about needing to do ‘something’ (besides riding my dirtbike) to start working out again – hmmm…
Since I arrived a few minutes early, I decided to take a moment to read your blogs for inspiration before going into work. Then, as I read this, I felt like you were speaking straight to ME based on my thoughts on the drive.
When I looked down and saw the shout-out below the text, I was like, “Whoa, Larry – that’s CRAZY!!”
Thanks for the nudge, sir! Now I’m COMPELLED to get off my butt and do something 🙂
Take Care and Be Well!
PS – how was the race?
