29 Mar Priorities
I've been doing a lot of reading lately, and I recently read a little snippet that really hit home for me, mostly because I know excuses are easy to come by. Basically this little tidbit of wisdom was this:"Before you make an excuse, try phrasing it with "this is not a priority for me"; just see how that feels for you"
The person who proposed this idea went on to explain how when you are making an excuse to not work out, you are actually saying that working out is not a priority for you. It eliminates the rationalization factor; by saying "I don't have time to go to the gym today" you are really saying "going to the gym is not a priority for me today", if you honestly don't have time for 30 minutes of a treadmill, or a few sun salutations or even 15 minutes of squats, lunges and planks, then saying that is not a priority shouldn't be too hard to state.
