Breaking the habit….. damn it!
I am what we call a serious creature of habit. It
is strange and enclosing. I mean seriously, who can eat the same breakfast day
in and day out AND kept the same job for 10 years through their entire 20s? No
one! I am the type of person that likes things to be the same over and over. I
think that makes me feel so wrapped in the softest blanket of safety. It is
firm! No surprises. Habit can be so limiting though. And honestly, I just
figured this out about me at the ripest of age, 38. Self awareness much? Or
nah?
So how did I figure out my habitual habit issue?
My f’ing workouts! I got a plan from a supposed trainer (it was an online
trainer so who the hell knows what’s actually true!) And I have been doing it
without giving it much thought since then. And my cardio doesn’t change much
either. You hear people say all the time that in order to see great change, you
have to become so freakishly uncomfortable as to create something super shiny
brand new in yourself. But that is a
quote that is easy to say, harder to put into action. I like my workout plan. I
like eating the same breakfast every single day. And right there is my warm
fuzzy blanket syndrome. Let’s go lady, drop the blanket & step into the
skimpy swimsuit! Okay? Hello!
I have to live my fitness journey more out of
intent than habit. I intend to be awesomely fit. Therefore, I have to shake it
all up. I have to keep the parts that are working to move me forward and drop
kick the crap I do just to stay in my blankie! Time to really revamp it all.
And see something so new in me. Which will eventually have me looking less like a
38 year old mom and hopefully more like my husband’s sexy ass wife = ageless!
Bye bye habits! (most of them anyway! Let's not get tooo crazy J )
