I DID IT ANYWAY!
I didn’t want to get up at 5 am. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to read. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to kneel to pray. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to do push-ups. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to clean and paint the framework of the greenhouse. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to go outside in the cold. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to say “no”. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to risk failure trying a new recipe. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to slow down in order to have a preschooler help me cook. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to stop what I was doing to listen to my cute husband. I did it anyway.
I didn’t want to forgo the treat. I did it anyway.
Why?
Because I secretly really did want to.
Why? Because:
1. I like to feel good.
2. I like a challenge.
3. I love these people!
Two questions:
1. What do you not want to do that you secretly do want to do? Why?
2. What are you waiting for?
Motivate yourself
1. Find your powerful reason — your “why”. It’s there somewhere. If the “why” is solid, the “how” will come.
2. Say to yourself: “I can make it fun”, and “I do have the ability”.
3. Just keep doing it anyway. It may not be fun at first, but know it will always be rewarding. Pick one thing and just do it. Take a step, then another, then another.
Don’t feel like it?
Do it anyway.
Try it for 10 days.
Do it.
