“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”
― E.B. White
I was remarking that I have an internal conversation going on. There is a resistance to the change. This whole deciding to go to the gym business is quite something. The day I had an appointment with Ken (a.k.a. Superfit I have since learned) I was sooooo tired. All I wanted to do was go back to bed. Was my body physically trying to stop me from going?
I think we get into patterns but I also would venture that our psyche puts us in those patterns to keep us from moving on. Part of us likes that everything stays the same. No change, no mystery. We can keep creating the same situations and the same results. To create change takes an enormous amount of energy and dedication. Personally I find being aware of the struggle going on inside (remember it took 5 days to get to the gym after I joined!) helps me. It is now the devil I know. I can conquer it by reminding myself I don’t have to listen to it. It no longer has power over my life.
This quote is delicious! I now rise every morning torn between the desire to improve my health by going to the gym and the desire to enjoy the warmth and comfort of my bed! Then I get up put my workout clothes on to make my way to the gym. I can improve my life and enjoy doing it. My bed will still be there after the workout.
Ciao!
