If you are like me, that everyday constantly needs some form of motivation, then this post is for you.
This morning on my way to my child's school, I was contemplating if I should stay for the 10 minutes walk/jogging we do every morning for like a week now. To be honest, my bones were tired, my body says NO!, go home and rest and do it another day. Another voice said, you see all those dresses that can't fit you anymore because you are carrying extra pounds, do you want to waste them all? You better get moving and gbe body e ( carry your body), just like the slang en vogue at the moment among Nigerians lol..
As these two voices kept fighting in my head, I saw people walking away from the playground, where we normally converge after drop-off. And another voice said, don't join the people going away, you are only going home to sit and watch TV in the house, 10 minutes will go by fast. Make it count! Anyways, to cut all this rant, I obeyed the voice that wants to snatch her body back into those dresses*Lol*. And I am thankful I did. The happiness I felt afterwards cannot be quantified, My mood came alive and I feel so much lighter compare to the heavy pounds I was carrying lol.
My point is just to keep pushing, my brain had to do so much calculations within few seconds to bring into my memory and flashbacks of the reasons of why I needed to stay motivated and keep going.
Though, everything around us might not work in line with what we have planned, they might want us to turn back or want us to go the other way, SELF DETERMINATION and SELF MOTIVATION will keep us going.
We all have it within us, we need to make an effort, we just need to work on it and make it count for us. Just a tiny bit of motivation is all we need to get us moving...........
Sometimes the voice in one's head is what needs to be overcome in other to accomplish a goal.
ReplyDeleteI remember struggling with this voice so many times. What has helped me in some situations is asking what advice I'll give if someone I love happens to be in the same situation. Then,I follow my own advice.
Thanks for the motivation!
oh thats so true, thanks buddy.
