When you dont want to go to the gym/run, just go for 10 minutes. After this your endorphines kick in and take over.
So true! Many times I have not been in the mood to go out for a run or go to the gym but I put myself on auto pilot and say that I am just going to go for 10 minutes, or just around the block... 30-60minutes later I am back home with a ridiculour smile on my face.
Do one thing a day that scares you.
This was from a manifesto of a popular sports clothing company. Countless times I have not wanted to do something because it was either scary, uncomfortable, and/or embarrassing and each time I can hear myself telling myself to do it anyway. It feels good to do something that scares you.All you have in this world is your word.
This was explained to me by someone I had just met. They said, "I don't know you, all I know is what you do or don't do. If you say you will do something and you don't then all I can see is that you havn't kept your word. It doesn't matter what excuse/reason you had for not doing it, the only thing I see is that you didn't." "The positive spin to this is if you say you will do something and then you do, I can trust and admire you." The bottom line is, do what you say you will.
Do it now, do it now, do it now.
Another saying from the manifesto. If you don't do what you want now you may find it still on your to do list in 10, 20, 30 years time and it may be too late. Do it now! There is no time like the present.
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?
A quote from markandangel.com is self explanitory and stems towards the last two paragraphs I've written. Your life is now!
...and my absolute favourite
Nothing changes if nothing changes
Pure and simple. If you want to be something/someone different but don't change any of your habits, then you wont change. Or as Albert Einstein explained: Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again and explecting different results.
