When you wake up each day, is what you do dictated by how you feel? Do you not exercise because you don’t feel good? Do you sleep until you feel well enough to get out of bed? Is your productivity at work determined by how you feel and how much energy you have that day? Do you stay at home because you don’t have enough energy to get out and do the things that you really want to do? If you said yes to any of these questions or anything similar then you are letting how you feel dictate your life.
It’s time to take control of your life and lead. I see it all too often – people do what they do based off of how they feel. People don’t exercise because they don’t feel up to it. They let their symptoms and the way they feel prevent them from exercise and the benefits of exercise. They have a million excuses as to why they can’t, most of which are based off of an illness or an injury. They let the injury or illness lead and dictate their life. If you think you can’t exercise because of a limiting factor then you are incorrect. Everyone can do something. All you have to do to get results is do more than you currently do, so literally everyone can get results. Everyone has a ceiling that they can work towards.
Well, if you take control of your exercise and diet and your health, you can dictate the terms. You may have to take a step back to take two steps forward, but trust me, you will never feel better until you do. You will just be managing symptoms and never doing what you want and living how you really want to. Start exercising! Don’t wait until you feel better. Exercising is one of the things that makes you feel better. So if exercise is makes you feel better and your plan is to wait until you feel better to start exercising, then you will likely never feel better by waiting. In addition to exercising, also try to make diet improvements such as budgeting your calories and eating more fruits and vegetables, (Click here to learn how to budget your calories and here to learn how to eat more fruits and veggies), start drinking more water (a lot more!), get more sleep, and reduce stress. Do these things – even when you don’t feel like it!
When you invest some time and effort taking control of your health and fitness, you will feel much better. When you feel better, you dictate the terms of your life. You take the lead. You decide what you want to do each day based on other things besides the way you feel. Don’t be a slave to your symptoms any longer. Take control. Feel better, live better!
