If you are not happy with your current situation, whether that be health, weight, job, relationship, then make that change! If you are uncomfortable with the way that your body is, it is up to you to make the necessary adjustments in order for you to be more comfortable. Stop putting it off, making excuses or even worse blaming the situation on other people. There is no one to blame except yourself. Take a moment today to see what exactly is bothering you, assess it, accept it and then start changing it.
If you need to stop getting that muffin in the morning, then stop. If you are saying you are too tired at night to do a little exercise, I don't want to hear it. 30minutes a day is all you have to commit to in order to start seeing some results. Take a break at work and walk a few blocks, 20 city blocks equal one mile. If you work on 50th street, walk to 60th and back as the fresh air will do you good and you have now walked a mile, getting your heart rate up and adding some movement in your workday. Move past the pizza station at lunch and get some greens on your plate, with yes the dressing on the side!
You have to be proactive in order to make that change and become happier. People put limitations on themselves and make excuses for not getting exercise and/or making poor food choices. This is not acceptable.
This also can relate to other aspects of your life. Being that it is the dreaded Monday, most of us are probably a little sullen this am. Why? Do you not like your job? Then quit and find something where you are happier. Not happy with your routine? Change it, what is holding you back? Not happy with the city/apartment you live in? Move. Not happy with your relationship? Sorry, it's not working, move on and find out more about yourself. Not happy that you are not in a relationship? Start going out more and meeting up with friends instead of staying in and having a hot date with Movies on Demand. Feeling like you put on a few extra lbs. and not happy with your current weight or health status? Incorporate some exercise, and evaluate your eating patterns.
Many people are afraid of change, afraid of moving away from what they are used to and moving into some unknown territory. However, if we all shared this mentality and put these unnecessary limitations on ourselves, we would still be rubbing those sticks together to make fire.
Now, go make that necessary change!
