Days #25 & 26: Just do it!

From the Orange Rhino:

TODAY’s THOUGHTS:
“Life has many twists and turns and sometimes what looks like a very bad day can just be clearing the way for good things to come.” ~ J Kim Wright
Did you have a not so hot day yesterday? I’ve said it before. Don’t think of it as failing, think of it as another day learning and preparing you for success. You will get there, you will! (Okay, really reading my own words here.)
“It is easy to sit up and take notice. What is difficult is getting up and taking action.” ~ Al Batt
Even if your days aren’t going as you wish, congratulate yourself for taking notice that you want to change and getting up and trying to take action. It is hard work! But you are doing it--something many people don’t even attempt. Be proud of that and keeping getting up no matter how hard!
“The most effective way to do it, is to do it!” ~Amelia Earhart
Yes! Sometimes when I am in a rut – I can’t lose weight, I can’t get the to-do list done, I can’t do what I need to do because I am scared – what I need to do is just tear the band-aid off, jump in, and do it! (Again the irony is unreal. This is exactly what I am doing in my own life right now. I am right there with you!!)
TODAY’s ACTIONS:
1. Just do it! Tear the band-aid off and decide you are going to try again with all your energy. If your goal is too much (ie. an entire day) go really hard at one moment, ie. meal time. Set yourself up to succeed!

2. Remind yourself what you have learned. Write it down on a post it note and put it in a place you can see it.
Enjoy your time with your family!!! Have a great weekend day and if all the togetherness eventually feels too much, say you need a 5-minute break and take one. One moment at a time, you can do this!
