Deciding What's Important
In this week's podcast, Becca and I talk about finding your "why". Finding that reason to workout or eat healthier. Take a listen, if you haven't already. The entire discussion really made me think about the difference between just doing the mental/emotional work because it's what you are supposed to do and going 100% all-in.
For me, I know that I spend a lot of time talking about what to do, planning what to do and doing it. I do the "thing" so I can check it off my to-do list. I crave that feeling of accomplishment. But sometimes, that feeling comes with a cost. I put in more effort on quantity than quality. I do the work without learning along the way.
What would happen if I gave it my all? What if I put the effort into making the right choices, even if it means my checklist is undone? What if I REALLY gave everything I had to this pursuit of wellness?
As you look at your own life, where are you just going through the motions? What area of your life could you go all-in to achieve your goals? What does that look like to you? Can you decide that it's important to you and worth giving it everything you have?
There is a quote that sums this idea up pretty well. "If it's important you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse." -Ryan Blair. So, let's do this together. Let's pick something and go all-in and see what happens!
