There are many obstacles and adversities that an individual needs to overcome to exercise on a regular basis. Our excuses all need to be in order: It is too cold; too hot; too windy; too tired; too rainy; too busy; too etc etc. Before too long we have to realize that our true main obstacle is our mind! If we can overcome our mind, our body will do what comes natural…MOVE!
Dr. George Sheehan, a famous runner and physician, stated: “There will never be a day when we won’t need dedication, discipline, energy, and the feeling that we can change things for the better…What the day brings and every one learns sooner or later, is recurrent challenge…” Time to face that challenge head on. Here I am getting ready for the Goofy challenge this past January. Nervous, and excited…and deep down, wondering “what am I doing?”.
To get ready, we may be anxious, and it will become easier if, at least at the beginning, we anticipate this. So, it is time to face that challenge head on. It is time to do what we are truly capable of accomplishing, and not settle for things that are easy and comfortable. Get out of your comfort zone, and prove to yourself what you are capable of. You will never know until you try! Keep moving everybody!
