Where’s the Time?
Have you ever made a new year’s resolution to eat better, exercise more or finally sit down to read those books you bought so long ago? I know that for the last few years I’ve been making the promise to myself to exercise more and to start my day with a good stretch. For one reason or another, I start the year strong and then as quick as I start my resolution, I stop.
I know that for myself, maybe you can relate, I throw out the excuse that I just don’t have enough time or I have too much going on. It’s not as if doing so would take up a considerable chunk of time. We’re talking about 30 minutes to an hour a few days a week. So, how do I motivate myself enough to make time to do this?
I actually had a conversation with someone that I met the other day about exercise and how it can directly relate to the environment. We decided that the more you exercise, the more stress is released. The more stress that is released, the better outlook you may have. The better outlook you have, the bigger impact you may have. You get the idea.
Why wouldn’t I want to exercise? I feel like, for me, exercise clears my mind and untangles all the ideas floating around in my head. If exercise helps to clear that up and give me a clearer outlook, whether that be on work, a relationship or the environment, I’m all for it.
