I didn’t feel like working out

by | Feb 28, 2024 | Fitness

You know those days when you finally leave work… and the LAST thing you want to do is hit the gym, cook dinner, and tackle your never-ending to-do list?

Have you ever thought about what happens when you say the heck with it… and DON’T do those things? In the moment it feels like a relief. But later? It can feel like a real letdown.

Because choosing NOT to slack off — to do the thing anyway, especially after a tough day — is where real growth happens.

Every time you choose to push through, you’re not just working toward your goals… You’re also building mental resilience and self-efficacy (your belief in yourself to follow through).

And that’s not even talking about how your workout can actually boost your mood and energy levels because of the feel-good hormones released during exercise.

These small victories — the moments when you choose what’s good for you over what’s easy — add up to big changes. So, next time you feel like ditching your routine in favor of the couch, remember this:

👉 Your growth is directly proportional to the challenges you chase.
