How important really is your health?
Did you promise yourself that you would exercise three times a week, because your health is so important right?
Did your exercise stay at the top of your list or did it slowly fall down your list of priorities?
If you bemoan how exercise doesn’t seem to fit in your week anymore, then you had better start looking at your boundaries. Telling everyone around your immediate circle that exercise MUST be fitted in is a strong start.
You have to stop those who invade on your time too, leading to you cancelling endless exercise sessions, so much so that you never end up going anymore.
Would you let anyone cancel your dental or solicitor’s appointment or your kids’ parents evening? Why not? Because it’s important you go? You don’t let anyone cross those boundaries do you?
Aren’t the massive health benefits you have from exercise just as even more important? But many of you let people smash through those boundaries and say “go tomorrow instead”, knowing tomorrow never actually comes.
Your boundaries are weaker when it comes to exercise, and others will sense it and take advantage of it until you stop exercising all together.
You will never get things done on a consistent basis if you let others “decide” what you should really be doing, surely it’s not their choice- it’s YOURS.
Next time you decide to get healthy, realise it is going to take some commitment with your TIME, involve others from the outset, that it’s going to take their support too, and the end result will benefit everyone, as you will be less stressed, much healthier and much HAPPIER too.
