Last minute blog

So today, I’ve had a day that has been one of those days.

Those are the days when you feel like just saying ‘fuck it’ and sitting in front of Netflix.

I normally do this daily blog at around 4pm and seeing as I am just 11 days off from completing a whole year of blogging every day, I seriously do not want to miss one now.

I got home about 7.40pm blog still to do and wanting to go to the gym.

So I opted for the gym, I know for those who know me that’s probably a little hard to believe, but I did 30 minutes on the bike, 15 minutes in the pool and then 10 minutes in the steam room.

It was in the steam room that the mind finally cleared and the energy came back to go home and do the blog.

There are two things I learnt, first when you have a block on something, go do another thing and relax. The second, commitment is about doing things on the hard days, not the easy ones.

Now time for dinner.

Not the outcome you wanted

If you are not happy with the outcome of something, instead of looking for something or someone to blame, look at your input.

If we keep putting in the same we will get the same thing out.

New outcomes do not happen immediately.

However, they only come when we are willing to do things differently.

Doing things differently isn’t like flicking a switch, it means being committed to changing habits. That is a process of taking small daily steps and being prepared to put in the hard work to commit long enough for the new habit to form.

The hard work reaps reward and suddenly your life is full of outcomes you wanted.

What new outcomes do you want to start working on?
