How often do you hear people say “I’m just not motivated” or “I just don’t feel like it”. Especially when it comes to triathlon training.
It's getting cooler, and darker earlier each day. When it approaches this time of year...we simply don't feel like getting out the bed to go train. Running in the cold or putting on layers to go to the gym can be a mental hurdle to overcome.
Listen, if we always did what we felt like doing, we probably wouldn’t get very far in life. We’d never keep a job.
We’d probably have a hard time keeping a boyfriend, much less a husband. Think of all the important events we wouldn’t go to, that we should have – just because we “didn’t feel like it”.
Think of the things we’d say that should never come out of our mouth. Seriously, think of the friends we’d lose! I will own this one...my mouth at times moves faster then my brain 🤪
Doing what our body WANTS to do is rarely a good thing – and while we use some control in many parts of our lives, we treat our body differently and break all the rules.When it comes to workouts, I rarely want to do it – but, like many other things in life, I do what I need to do whether I feel like it or not because it’s the right thing to do.
Why should I treat my body any differently than my job, my spouse or my friend. I’d like to keep it for a while right? Then I need to treat it right – whether I feel like it or not.
This week’s commitment:
Decide today to quit making decisions based on feelings. Your workout is an important job that needs to be done – and it pays really well.
Show Up. Do It. Be Proud. Enjoy the Reward It’s that Simple.
That Triathlon isn't going to train for it self. Get out and get your walk, spin, swim, bike, run and strength training done!
