On this day I…

Building Will Power.

Having willpower isn’t a catch-all situation, once you attain it for one thing, it doesn’t mean you have it for everything else.

I can wake up at 5 am and feel good. I can step into a cold shower and barely react, pick up a book and read for hours. The willpower to do all those has been developed. Each one, in turn.

So now I want to build the willpower to create a Gym habit. Of course, the habit itself will bring the willpower. Going to the gym on a nice summer morning is different to a dark and stormy one, and that is where willpower comes in.

The habit is what gives you the locomotion to WANT to go to the gym, Willpower is what gets you there when it’s a blizzard out. Willpower is what gets you from thought to action quickly. The JUST DO IT attitude.

So I woke up this morning at 5 am as usual. I fell back to sleep and woke up again at 8:30 am. Not great. I felt like I’d wasted 3.5 hours of my day and missed my gym time, because I wanted to get there early.

I figured that the only thing that I was going to do today was finish reading a book. So I did. It was easy and a book I wanted to finish. No struggle.

While doing that I started to think about the gym…

Why does not getting to the gym at 7 am mean I’ve missed my time?

I started to think about it. I’m basically being a little bitch about this.

I finished the book, had my cold shower, and did my breath work and meditation. Then got my shit together and went to the gym

What happened?

I felt great
