Day 194 – Week 28 – 28 mins (15)

There’s definitely a whole lot of resistance going on here…

Despite the fact I had all the time in the world today, it was a huge effort to get myself dressed and ready for some stretching and strengthening. I managed 15 minutes before I just couldn’t bring myself to do anymore.

So – what’s going on? It’s not physical – I’m not feeling weak or tired – it’s psychological. My brain is doing everything it can to sabotage my efforts so far. I feel overwhelmed by it all, especially the thought that I will have to almost double my efforts before the year is out.

And this is something that I suspect happens to most of us regularly, and this is why we just stop and give up, sometimes for months or years at a time. Why is it that our brain, and not our bodies, stops us from looking after our bodies the way we should?

I have no answers. All I know how to do, is to keep doing a little something every day, until the enthusiasm returns, and I can make another leap forward.
