Sometimes it's really difficult to accept where I am... but I MUST accept it if I want to move forward in a healthy way 😇

Comfort Via Discomfort

Happy Sunday everybody!
Totally unplanned and spontaneous episode today.
I've been struggling to accept where I am lately. There I said it!
Lol sometimes it's difficult to say that and you just need to blurt it out!
I've had a tough time over the last several months building a morning routine and sticking to a morning routine. I've gone through little spurts (even 2-3 months) where I am consistently getting up between 5 and 5:30am, get in a workout (mostly strength building yoga), read 10 pages of a book, have a healthy breakfast, and get on with my day.
But then something happens that derails my routine. I take a few days off, I sustain an injury, I travel, whatever it is. Then I have such a tough time getting back into the routine. It goes with the saying, "Momentum is always working... it's either working with you or against you. And the longer it moves in one direction, the more effort it takes to stop it and push it the other way."
At this moment, I feel tired when I wake up and my body is stiff because I'm not moving enough during the day. I spend most of my days working in my office chair, standing at my desk, or sitting at the kitchen table/on the couch. When I have so much to do, it's easy to get trapped in my apartment and not get outside.
Momentum has been working against me and each day that I CHOOSE not to do anything about it, the harder it becomes to change that momentum.
So, I've released this episode to help myself; to tell others about what I'm struggling with because I know this helps me to be accountable with myself. I'm also sharing this as a way to help me accept where I am at this given moment... to accept that I have been struggling, to accept that my fitness level is not where it once was, and to accept that I must progress from THIS moment in time, not from another.
Here's to acceptance!! Much love! ❤️❤️
