Ever washed your car? Close your eyes for a moment and recreate the scene of the last time you got all 'sudsy' on a hot and hazy summer afternoon.
The lather of the soap across the glistening hood.
The cool, wet breeze of the garden hose providing some much needed relief from the temperature.
The shine and dazzle of the metal as the water pours off the bumpers.
If you're like me, straight after the final pass of the Sham-Wow has danced across the exterior of your automotive baby, you stand back and allow that involuntary, natural grin to start beaming face-wide and exposing the pearly whites.
How funny that the process of washing your car justifies the means of that exact moment.
You, standing back and just observing.
Proud of your work.
Rewarded with the knowledge of how nice you're going to look driving your beast to work the next day.
And my friend, that is precisely the outlook I want you to take when it comes to your fitness journey and goals.
Don't fall into the traps.....
Giving into the temporary fatigue.
Wishing you were already 'there'.
Ignoring what you HAVE done, in lieu of concentrating more on the road left to travel.
Step back.... TODAY!
Observe.... RIGHT NOW!
And be proud.... IN THIS MOMENT!
What you have accomplished is wonderful and very much your spark to keep going.
Notice your improvements, dedication and triumphs more than you bemoan the process or stare longingly at where you want to be...
It will make all the difference... and you deserve that!
Decide,
