I'm The Only Boss Of Me
I’m gonna be honest. Your girl is struggling! My little slump hasn’t gone away. I’m still not feeling any motivation. My pizazz is at a level zero. I have absolutely no desire to workout. I want to eat dessert all day. That bag of chips leftover from my son’s graduation party is calling my name. I do not feel like being healthy.
BUT! My feelings aren’t the boss of me. I’m the boss of me. So whether I’m feeling it or not, I’m not giving myself any other choice but to power through and do what I’m supposed to do.
Yes I will get up and workout, even if it takes me longer than usual. No I won’t have that piece of chocolate, even though it’s just a tiny piece. No I won’t eat potato chips, no matter how good those Ruffles ridges look. Yes I will eat my protein, even when the thought of chicken is not appealing. At all. Yes I will do what I’m supposed to do even when I don’t really want to.
Why? Because I’m the only boss of me and I’m not going to let temporary feelings knock me off my course. Temporary feelings can change permanent results if you let them. They can destroy your progress. They can mess up your mindset. They can derail you from the results you are looking for.
Remember those feelings are temporary. That slump isn’t going to last forever. Tell yourself, “I’m the only boss of me!” And make yourself do what you need to do instead of what you feel like doing! I promise it will be worth it in the end.
