wow, what a workout!!!

OK, so I have not been posting as much lately, I know. I have been yelling at myself about it. I have not been doing as well over the past few weeks and I am allowing some discouragement in my life to affect my progress.

Have you ever tried to put yourself into someone else’s shoes and try to understand what is going on in their mind?

I have had a crazy few weeks. I am trying to put together a career (have been for a while) and it is fighting me like a living person, beating me down more and more every day. I have tried to figure out how to make my professional life stronger and how to move on from my current situation into a better one and I just can’t do it. At least I feel like I can’t do it.

I can go on about this but it is pointless. The reason I brought it up is that the discouragement has caused me to focus less on my health and wellness and it is starting to affect my results.

I also recently saw a picture of myself that was less than flattering, and it sent me even further into a spiral.

The truth of this whole post comes when I realized that while we are all responsible for our feelings and we are all responsible for our outlook, we cannot always control our feelings and out attitude toward our outlook. There must be some ties in the words responsibility and control, both are words contingent with the will of the person using the words. Both words have emotional and physical elements. (Both words are also qualities of the Green Lantern, SHOUT OUT)!

Responsibility in the context of accountability…position of being accountable to somebody or for something

Control …to exercise power or authority over something or someone.

The only thing I can see or think of that responsibility has in common with control is that both words tend to describe actions taken over somebody or something.

I think that before we can take responsibility for a career or control over the elements of our lives that affect our lives, we HAVE to learn responsibility and control over ourselves. We need to have a firm grasp on our mental and physical wellbeing before we can extend that hold over other aspects of our lives.

So today I started the most intense month of workouts to date. I am infusing more physical activity every day and plan to follow my trainer’s strict nutrition program (intermingled with my WW plan) to get the maximum results I can get.

My new plan for my daily routine will take me to the point of more responsibility and control, not just in my personal life, but in my public and professional life as well…

Let me know how you are doing and let’s keep on the right track together!!!!
