I read this somewhere (probably Facebook lol) and I thought it was appropriate for NOW. I've been in a ONE DAY rut for a couple of months and I have lots to show for it ...
... my pants don't fit, my energy is low, my joints hurt, my sinuses are congested, my mood is sad and mad and generally poopy. I feel like a lazy, no-good slug wandering aimlessly. Overstated?!? Maybe ... and my woe-is-me mood adds to the drama ... but a lot of truth.
So now I'm switching to my DAY ONE mode. It's NOW, it's happening, it's a huge relief.
Part of my New Year, New Me ... yep I stole that from Weight Watchers ... is a list of daily get-my-butt-in-gear stuff. Stuff that I will feel good about, feel productive and get the ball moving in the right direction.
The list is simple to begin, but I've been doing it for a couple of days and it feels good. Hopefully, I'll add to it as I get going.
Move (workout or just move on a rest day - I already do this, but it looks good on my list LOL)
Crest Whitening strips (looking better makes me feel better - my teeth need it, but I've been procrastinating - can't stand doing it)
Releash Atlanta application work (check in daily - I'm on the application committee now)
CE for my nursing license (7 done - 23 to go)
Doing these 4 simple things is a start. It makes me feel purposeful. I know it looks lame, but somehow it works. The biggest issue is getting started ... stringing some good days together. It's where I am now.
The start is a slow roll until January 1st ... I might as well embrace the cliche ... building up so January 1 feels easier. So far, so good.
