I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and I’ve come to realize that people who complain and then do nothing about what bothers them really bothers me. In other words, making excuses has become a big pet peeve of mine. That being said, stop making excuses. Just stop.
Now, I can understand when a person has a genuine reason to miss out on working toward their goal or completing some task. If you’re sick or injured, that makes sense. But when you’re feeling lazy or tired or sore, and that’s your reason for choosing to not go to the gym or study a little more or do whatever it is you’re going to do, I’m sorry, but come on!! I get that we all have days where we feel tired, sore, lazy, or just not quite right. That being said, it’s important to push past those feelings and get done what needs to get done!! You’re not going to get to where you want to by lying in bed watching Netflix all day feeling bad for yourself! The only person that can make you change is you!
I’m not saying I’m perfect or that I don’t have bad body image days because I most definitely still have days like that! But, I used to be the type of person to complain about how I looked and I did nothing about it. Part of why I did nothing was because I didn’t know what to do with myself and I let that excuse be enough. Looking back, I wasn’t happy that way. I wanted more for myself!
I found that when I stopped making excuses and worked toward what I wanted, it came. My results may not have come as fast as I may have liked, but I keep working and I have come to appreciate the process and develop my discipline. And that doesn’t just apply to working out and developing a more sustainable, healthy lifestyle! That can apply to anything! If you’re wanting to make improvements in any aspect of your life, you’re not going to get there by complaining or feeling sorry for yourself. Your excuses will get you nowhere. Step outside your comfort zone, make sure you have a good support system, and go for what you want!
I know you all are so capable of many things. So, stop making excuses and go take care of business. If you need someone to cheer you on, I’m right here for you. 🥰 Have a great week everyone. I’ll see you next weekend.
