I love and promote balance with nutrition and exercise, celebrating the small wins and really feeling into what style of training you should do.
But sometimes we forget that some days we have to be bigger than our excuses to get it done.
The other day I was sitting on the sofa with my girls, and I had no energy. I could feel my eyes closing and the desire to nap burned strong.
But then I really started to question myself, and why I was making the decision to nap when I knew that it wasn't what I really needed.
I asked myself;
Am I actually burned out, or am I using it as an excuse to mask my complacency?
Am I actually exhausted, or am I just not fuelling and taking care of my body adequately?
Do I actually need some downtime, or do I just lack discipline in making the hard choice?
So I got off the couch, did a 45minute workout, which ended up being amazing and I felt incredible after.
Since then I have asked myself these questions daily and have worked out every day since then.
Let me tell you my mood is so much better, clearer and stronger. I chose myself that day, and acted from a place of future self love. I could have sat on the sofa and probably continued to feel tired, sleepy and generally like shit. But I chose the hard option and man did it pay off.
For some people, burnout, exhaustion and needed downtime are genuine parts of their lives.
But for many of you, you will right now is not stronger than your excuses.
If any of these questions triggered you, maybe you need this little wake up call to make the choice to get out of your own way and start making the hard choices, which will end up paying off infinitely.
