(Just a little picture of my morning routine lately, cold exposure, sunlight, playing outside with my dog… first thing when I wake up every morning !!)
As I get older I become mindful about my health, my mindset & the things I need to do to better both. It is odd to me because as a kid you think you just have it all figured out when you grew up, but one thing I’ve realized is that’s not exactly the truth..
That leads me to a discussion I recently had with my father who is struggling with mental & physical health later in his life. He says “I feel stuck”, “I know what I need to do, it’s just hard to do it”, “ I need to lose weight, it’s just hard to go to the gym”.
The way I think about it is you have good momentum & bad momentum. As you build bad habits, it gets easier to do bad things & vice versa to the upside.
If you feel stuck there are small things you can do to build good momentum in the background leading you to have more WILLPOWER to do the things you need to do each day. Ex: getting up and looking at the sky, reading before bed, drinking a gallon of water a day, doing some breathing exercises or saying aspirations..
The things I previously listed are MUCH easier than going to the gym or changing your whole diet. When you start to do these things it uplifts your willpower to a point where physical activity or eating healthier isn’t as much of a task. You become more mindful and positive day to day, START SMALL !!
