Ever get so frustrated when things dont go your way that you let it ruin your plan to exercise?
Let me step you through a typical afternoon of mine..
So there is 6 hours till I have to run a class, and am at home on this particular day.
Get ready and go out to run an awesome evening bootcamp class at Penshurst!
5. Playtime? Where we going to find time for that?
Does this ever happen to you? When your planned day or week or weekend just doesn't go to plan?
Thats absolutely normal and natural… we get demotivated, we feel flat and lose all energy to move forward.
However when we focus on ourselves and work on our mindset, a day like this can be turned around quite easily.
I make a commitment to myself… if I only have 5 mins for myself that I will do what I need to do in that five minutes. That generally means that I will find a way to exercise – skip for 5 mins, do some bodyweight exercises or just get moving?
I put on uplifting music and dance around – I generally dance with my baby, and music gets us both moving. Music is a great way to get up, get moving and feel good – whether its by yourself when no-one is watching or dancing around with your kids.
So… what commitments are you going to make to yourself when you are next in this situation.
