Get Going!!!

It’s 5:30 AM and the alarm goes off…  You are faced with your first difficult decision of the day; do I hit the snooze and get a few more minutes of precious sleep, or do I get up an exercise?  That is just first of many choices you are presented with during the day.  It is a lot harder to muster the motivation to do something that requires more time, energy and effort.  Hitting the snooze button always seems more appealing in the moment.  But by 6:15 you are thankful you chose the latter, you got up and ran your four miles in the cold, and you are now better for it.  You have the energy and determination to take on the next challenge.

We are all faced with a barrage of choices to make each day: what to wear, where to eat, what to do, who to follow, when to lead.  Some of these decisions are more significant than others.  But when and how do you know which is right?  When we decide to take the easy way out we are deciding the effort and possible reward are not worth our time.  This can create a mindset or habit of avoiding challenges rather than tackling them head one.  Doing what is difficult creates stress, which promotes growth.  It also improves your ability to focus on the bigger issues and not sweat the little things.  So get out of bed, lace up your shoes and get running!!!
