This past week was rough…in the BEST way possible!
As excited as I was about starting back up with classes, I’m not immune to the challenges that came from “getting back into the swing of things”.
But I quickly realized I was not alone.
On Monday we started up with the new class schedule and not only did I come across bumps in the road, myself, but every student walking through the studio door had a tale to tell.
“I couldn’t get my kids out the door fast enough”
“I’m always running late, and today I was REALLY running late”
“I forgot my yoga mat.”
“I haven’t worked out in forever, I’m not sure I’m going to get through this whole class.”
But…
We all showed up.
We shook off whatever was going on.
And we got the job done.
Oh, and did I mention we had FUN! doing it.
Yeah, that’s right.
After all the hemming & hawwing (said with no judgment at all, as I was feeling exactly the same way)…we turned things around and all left that classroom smiling. Feeling good about ourselves. And knowing we just took the first step to “getting back to normal”.
And damn, did it feel good!
Now if you’re one of those people who haven’t gotten your butt movin’ yet. Don’t freak out. And certainly don’t start being all judgement on yourself. One, that won’t help matters and two, as you can see, it only took one moment to shift gears.
One moment to decide exactly how, when & where you are going to get the ball rolling again.
And when that moment comes, you will find yourself moving happily in the direction you want.
So…(even for my brave souls, who went through the trenches first with me this week) let’s make a game plan.
Write Down:
What are you going to do for exercise this week?
When? Days/times?
Where are you going to workout?
Be SPECIFIC! The more detailed you are, the better. You'll already commit your mind to it and then when the day comes, you will more likely do it.
So, WRITE IT DOWN!
I’m not joking.
I heard a cool stat this past week, from a goal-setting study by a physcology professor from the Dominican University of California.
Which said:
"Human beings are 42% more likely to achieve our goals if we simply write them down."
42%!!!
For something that doesn't take a lot of time, that's HUGE!
So we are going to be on the winning side of this statistic right now.
Write done your What? When? & Where? fitness goals for this week and let’s get this party started!
It only takes ONE MOMENT.
Love,
Janine
