I worked out again for four hours today. Can you say UGH...or CRAZY? I was out walking, and it was too cold, and my feet were aching, and my legs were feeling super tight, like losing the ability to move quickly, that sort of tight. Right now I feel like I just spent a long day skiing - a slight chill lingering around my ears and nose, little aches, and totally sluggish.
Then I think about tomorrow.
I should not think about tomorrow. I should just think about my nice warm bed, a long night's sleep. But I keep thinking about tomorrow and how I've committed myself to this for the rest of the week. Two days down...great job...but four more to go. Blisters are developing on my feet. Can I do it again? I'm just not so sure.
I think that's a big problem with me lately. I can't stop thinking about the entirety of a project, the whole long process of getting to the end goal, whatever the goal may be. And you know when you think about the whole long process and obsess over how big it is...well, you get discouraged, think about all the excuses for not doing it, and then, well, you give up. I need to learn how to take things one day at a time.
I'm such a planner that I like to think ten steps ahead. It's good to have a long term goal...an end where you want to be. I also think it's good to be able to take things one step at a time after you've decided what the end goal is. You know, learn to put the end in the background and focus on just what has to be done now.
