A proverb, thousands of years old, re-stated in the Gospel of Luke. A phrase that lately I've been pondering.
Most of my life I've been the sparkplug, the guy that gets everyone excited and motivated. The life of the party. Even last year when I started my odyssey of getting into shape and running a marathon I was able to motivate those around me to do stuff.
The last couple of months though, I've been in a bit of a funk. Haven't been going to the gym, feeling low energy. Its been really difficult to motivate myself to get going. Its really so easy to tell other people what to do and to 'suck it up," but much more difficult to do so for one's self.
So, if you're in this boat, don't worry. Try to surround yourself with people who will help you to get where you want to be. The hardest part is starting, gets easy after that.
I'm reminded again though that guilt is a totally wasted emotion. Uses too much energy and brain power. We (me) spend so much time feeling bad about what we haven't done and what we should be doing.
I'm back at the gym now and the last 2 days have been great. Feeling better, mentally which is making me feel better physically. Bring it on....
:)
