I didn’t feel like working out

by | 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.

You’ve got this!

The “I’ll start in January” excuse …

The “I’ll start in January” excuse …

This mindset can make-or-break your results – especially this time of year. It has to do with “either/or” thinking … and in a nutshell, it works like this: Either you’re 100% on track… or you’re completely off.  If you’ve ever said, “I’ll start in the New Year,” or “I’ll start on Monday,” chances are you were caught in this kind of thinking.
