Do Something

It occured to me this morning that I have a real issue with momentum.I use the following lines on my clients all the time..."just move", "do something, ANYTHING to get you closer to where you want to go". These are all so true..I know it. I have even advised clients to exercise for 5 minutes to just keep in the habit. A perfect example of this is a client that I use to train (you know who you are) who would sleep in her exercise clothes to be sure to make it to her 6 a.m. exercise class. She would roll into the gym, huge coffee cup in hand, un-brushed teeth and a bad case of "bus hair". (Bus hair: def: what your hair looks like in grade/middle school when you have to jump out of bed and run for the bus sans shower and hairbrush). She knew that her entire day was better when she exercised in the morning. This is no small task to work into your day when you work full-time and have two little ones. She did it and she still does.

As I thought about sitting down and writing this blog I instantly thought of many excuses as to why I did not have the time. It seems I try to convince myself that it must be ten pages long, then I will have to to check grammar and spelling numerous times so I don't come off sounding like a donkey. ( In case you are wondering, I have decided to give up this step for today so only judge me on content please.)It is the same dance that I do in my head when it is time to clean the house. I feel so overwhelmed when it comes to cleaning the house. The job seems so big. If only I would take my own advice and "DO SOMETHING" every day. It takes a few minutes everyday to write a short blog entry. It keeps me writing and that is THE BIG SOMETHING that I know I need to be doing right now. That bible study will not write itself.

Here is the interesting part about momentum, if you do something...you tend to do more somethings as the day progresses. So now I am off to clean a mirror, make a squash/ zucchini quiche and feed my girl some sweet potatoes. Maybe I will even vaccum up the dog hair and empty some suitcases. Nah, let's not get crazy.
