Day 63: Kick in the pants

Monday morning, again.

Had my swim bag ready to go in the morning, and made myself late by reading "Girl Genius."

Go to the class late, or get a later class and risk not going?

I thought of this, by Rohit Giri at Quora:
Self discipline is the ability to get yourself to take action:-

  • to do what you need to do
  • regardless of your physical, mental or emotional state.
Everything you want in your life, everything you want to have and do depends on your ability to get yourself to take the necessary actions to achieve your goals, whether you feel like it or not, which is why the developing extraordinary self-discipline is the most important commitment you can make to yourself right now.
And then I thought, "Parking spot!"

So I went.  Forty minutes of swim fitness.

Yesterday on my way to church, I learned of this book, "Peak:  Secrets from the new science of expertise," by K.Anders Ericsson.  It's at the library, so I will pick it up this afternoon, see if I can treat myself to wellness.


And for today's picture, a page from the adventures of "Girl Genius"!

Oops, it won't show.  So here's the link:

  1. What if you set a goal to not read Girl Genius (or use the computer, or whatever distraction keeps making you late) until after you have gone and exercised? You will feel 100% better knowing that you're achieving your goals and taking care of yourself first, and you'll enjoy the time you spend later so much better without feeling the guilt of "I should be doing" or "I should've done." :)
