Today was Friday. I got up much more motivated to have a great day. I made the boys lunches and breakfast with MUCH more enthusiasm. After they left for school, I went to a spin class (which is a rare occurrence for me) and really pushed myself. Lungs BURNING! I ate well, prepped food for lunch and mid afternoon, and now am adding a blog post (something that is ALSO unfortunately a rare occurrence for me). I'm looking forward to this evening, just hanging out with family.
So why can't I make EVERYDAY Friday? Why cant I "reason" my brain into seeing everyday like today? What could the possibilities be? I'd be much more productive, and a much better mom and wife.
It's simple PERCEPTION. I believe Fridays have this magical LIFT about them, so the whole day seems so much "better"? What our brain perceives, we believe.
What if you told yourself, you were WORTH treating well? You deserved to take care of yourself. Eating healthy WASNT hard or time consuming, but WORTH it? Getting a workout in, a yoga class, a long walk with your significant other is good for your body AND mind. Worth the time and effort.
What if we stopped talking to ourselves in such negative ways? "I'm so fat and lazy right now. What is wrong with me? Why cant I get my butt to the gym? Why do I always fail on this diet?" As I sit here, in early February, waiting for my MOJO to kick in, this day has been a blessed eye-opener for me. How fortunate I am to have a Friday like this. How I will try to see EVERYDAY as Friday from now on.
Thats my goal for 2014. It's only taken me 37 days to figure it out, lol! Hope your year has started out, all that you wanted it to be, and you PERCEIVE all the blessing you have. Make the time for yourself starting today~
