I saw this quote yesterday evening, and I had to smile, because it was so perfect, especially after what I wrote yesterday:
I groaned at the idea of working out after work yesterday, but then I thought, really? I am not expecting much of myself right now. Am I truly not willing to invest 30 short minutes in myself? Am I really not worth it to me?
When I tried to play a workout online, the video kept stuttering and buffering, pausing and skipping. I was tempted to say, “Well, I tried, didn’t I?” and scrap the whole exercise thing altogether. Instead I switched to another online workout that played just fine, and I got my workout done.
It’s chilly here today, and I want nothing more than to turn off my laptop, grab a blanket, and snuggle up with my husband and get our weekend together started. It will have to wait just a bit, though. I am determined to take care of myself, to start putting myself first, make me a priority. I devote so much time to taking care of everyone and everything around me. Why should I not do the same for myself?
