I decided that Wednesday was going to be stress free, I was going to take one day off from the job search so I wouldn't burn out quickly. I also decided I was going to eat healthy all day and go to the gym.
hmmmm....can you guess what I did and didn't do instead!?!? For some reason I felt the chocolate & carb rage take over me, I didn't go to the gym and oddly enough felt overly motivated to do the job search. I know its a good trait to be flexible, but I think that I take it to the extreme.
I've been reading/hearing more about keeping good habits and being disciplined, so maybe I'm confusing flexibility for poor discipline?
If I were to psycho-analyze myself I think I tend to think about things TOO much and justify my actions (sometimes poor actions) in some way. Which I guess would be poor discipline. But since I did something else positive today, I'm can twist it to the fact that I was very flexible.
Whatever it is, it's a routine I don't want to get into. When I say I'm going to do something for someone else, I do it and stick with it! So why can't I do this for myself....well I answered this question while looking for images. I googled the word discipline under images and they show a picture of an obese woman showing her lack of discipline to take care of her health - this photo was in the middle of a fantastic blog by Alex Shalman: http://www.alexshalman.com/2009/07/07/a-fat-girls-struggle-with-discipline/
- Long Story Short -
he summarized it as follows:
"The moral of the story is, stop complaining, stop making excuses, and make a declaration that you will not stand for being less than you can be. Start small, take action, and keep building up to bigger and better goals to create the very best version of yourself that you can dream up."
So I will not beat myself up over the poor decisions I may have made today, instead I will take this advise and start a new day tomorrow!
