I have found out a secret. If I distract myself during exercise I don’t have time to listen to the bad voices in my head. Don’t leave, I’m not crazy. It’s that thing we all do during difficult situations, you know, thinking things like this…
“Oh, this is so hard, I should take it easier on myself.”
Or this…
“This hurts, I’m only gonna do 2/3 of the reps.”
Or this…
“No, this REALLY hurts! I’m only gonna do 1/2 of them.”
Or this…
“If I do the whole entire exercise routine, including all the reps, maybe later I can eat some peanut-butter M&Ms”
You know… the bad voices.
So, I am working at doing my exercise routine a little bit earlier in the day when I’m normally cracking the whip about the chores and the kids who are supposed to be doing them. That-a-way I have to talk to the kids. That-a-way I’m distracted during the workout. That-a-way I don’t have time to be or hear the bad voices.
