Day 15: Today I am grateful for staying committed and taking myself to the pre-natal yoga class I had intended to go to all day.
It's so easy for us to give ourselves excuses to not do something we know will make us feel SO much better once we've done it - it's like there is a liiiittle obstacle in our way and perhaps the worst thing we might do for ourselves is to not do it. And if we don't, other 'stuff' might come up, like guilt or feeling worse than we did beforehand.
This afternoon, I felt I had already been pretty active today since I went for a swim at the pool, so I almost decided not to go to pre-natal yoga which is what I promised myself I would do since I didn't go the evening before. Setting intentions at the beginning of the day, can set us up for how we might choose to live our day.
I said to myself "Now I made the commitment and I'm going to stick with it" - also knowing deep down inside I would probably feel much better about myself and of course it's good for the baby, which is such a motivation driver for me at the moment!
Do you find yourself giving excuses and putting off something you know will do you good? If we keep doing the same thing and giving us the same excuses but expecting a different result - well that's just the definition of insanity! LOL. Make the shift, make the change, stick to your guns and your commitment to yourself. You will have EVERYTHING to GAIN!
