Funny, I knew I needed to get in shape but that motivation, inspiration was missing. Did I have to will it or would it come to me? Neither.
Some would call it a muse but I call it a Guardian Angel. She came to me with a message that I need to start now. Why? Not sure or clear. But what I was sure about was what to do. Make it to the gym in the morning, eat better, challenge negative thoughts, grind.
My focus is on and my purpose feels clear - get ready. In the past when I need to drop a few pounds I would drag my feet or get pushed into it because blood test results (high cholesterol, high triglycerides, etc.). This time it’s different. There is a voice that is very clearly speaking to me to get to work.
I try not to wonder why too much. Maybe I should but it’s distracting. The world right now is big on “why”. I used to be that way - struggling for my “why”. That struggle led to inaction and then frustration and depression. Do I really need to know right…now? Old thinking would suggest so but at this stage it would slow me down.
I now follow my instincts, my muse, my Guardian Angel. The why is not relevant as it will reveal itself over time. That mystery is my fuel to take action and win the day.
