If you want to reach your goals, sometimes you are going to have to workout even when you don’t feel like it. Health, fitness, and continually moving towards your goals is a decision, not a feeling. Feelings and emotions don’t always point you in the right direction. It’s a better idea to use your brain. Feelings come and go, they can be fickle. You made a decision to change, to improve, to pursue your health, and to reach your goals. In order for that to happen, sometimes you are going to have to exercise your will and show-up even when you don’t ‘feel like it’. Be smart, choose food that supports you, decide to workout, show-up, you will feel better afterwards. Eventually you won’t have so many days when you don’t feel like it, or if you do, you wont even notice. True strength of will is when you will not be detered even when your own feelings betray you. Once you start determining what you will do based on your mental decisions and strength of will instead of your feelings, you are on the right track to the next level. Then, on those days when your emotions line up with your decisions and your will, look out!
