Finding time...

February 27, 2008

I cannot seem to make working out a priority. I enjoy it when I'm out there...running, biking, walking, yoga. But everything else always semmes to take priority. I guess it goes back to the old saying that you have to take care of yourself first in order to be of value to anyone else or the world. And have you ever noticed that when you do work out, everything seems to fall into place? You never miss that hour that you spent on your self. In fact, it generally makes the days much more fruitful. In the mean time, I'm searching for a mantra to help inspire and remind me.

I know what you mean. What I do is have set days that I work out, and I don't miss. Ever. Well, unless I have a sick child and can't get out of the house, or if I've got a fever. Other than that, I never miss. I keep a gym bag in the car and I never stop at home first. I go right after work. I've been doing this for two years and it's great. There's no excuses for me!

Hey there Rosie, I so get what you are saying. How do you stay motivated in other areas of your life? Perhaps applying these same strategies could apply to your workouts? Taking that 45 -60 minutes for self is invaluable and for me, I look at it like paying myself first (just as I deposit $$ in a savings account each month). If you don't set the tone to take care of you, who will?
