Good Morning Peeps!
This wonderful Thursday morning here in the Music City is windy, warmer, and overcast....but from my point of view it feels great outside! I woke up early and was at Planet Fitness by 4:05 a.m., ready to get my workout on.
I loved being able to step out the door with a sweat jacket on and no winter coat and it didn't take long for the car to warm up. Which is fantastic.
Though I have to tell you that I woke up at 3:30 a.m. stirring and thinking I should just get up. Still I was so cozy and warm in my bed and didn't want to move. So then I started running through my head this....
Maybe I could take today off and ran a schedule through my head of how I could justify not going to the gym this morning. The alarm goes off at 3:55a.m. and I finally put a stop to my minds procrastination and kicked myself out of bed and said to myself "Tonya you have a goal....laying in bed will not help you to reach this goal"...next thing I know I was dressed and in the car walking through the doors of my gym. There you go...a little insight of how it isn't always easy to maintain momentum when trying to reach a goal. Sometimes it takes a little push and reminders to help stay on track.
Now...here I am enjoying my perfect cup of Hazelnut coffee and feeling refreshed, revived, motivated, and proud of myself for sticking to my goal this morning. It's great to get outside encouragement and sometimes it's needed. But...when you can motivate yourself and give positive encouragement and self praise.....this means even more. I know with myself that I am my own worst critic when it comes to personal achievements and tend to forget to give that atta girl moment when I do reach a goal. Yes....I have a tendency to get wrapped up in what I didn't achieve and totally take for granted what was achieved. Everyday I work on this because I want to keep moving forward and I am the only one who can keep that drive alive...little self positive praises can be huge motivators to take the next step to accomplishing the bigger goal.
Peeps all we can do is put our best foot forward and keep reaching for our goals no matter how hard it may seem and what challenges present themselves along the way. Remember your Silver Linings and all the little achievements along the way. Shine your own positive light of encouragement and then share it forward with others. In the end when we feel good about ourselves...it reflects in a positive ways on others!
Everyone have an awesome day and I will catch you on the flipside!
