Tuesday & Thursday are lifting days, followed by a half-hour on the treadmill. Instead of letting my mind wander aimlessly during treadmill time this week, I made a concerted effort to say – excitedly, but in my mind so the person on the next treadmill didn’t call security on me – “Do it now!” over and over. In thirty minutes time I’m guessing I must have said it to myself at least a thousand times.
After I left the gym, I went on with my day, did my readings & did a couple rounds of “Do it now!” out loud. I didn’t really think about it until I finished up with work on Tuesday. It was a long day and I was a little wiped. My initial thought was: sit down – you’ve got to teach in a couple hours so you need a break. I sat for about ten seconds and then out of nowhere I had the urge to get up and get some laundry done. After that, I grabbed the can of furniture polish and made a quick round throughout the house. Then the broom. It continued as such.
Now that I think of it, I don’t think I sat down again before heading off to teach class, except to put my shoes on. Small steps, but moving in the right direction.
Keep listening subby – you’ve got big things to accomplish!
