Day 201 – Embrace the Suck Redux

Geez, even after 200 days of keeping my commitments I have to just learn to embrace the suck. Sometimes it is just not a good day, or even a good week. That is when you just do not feel like doing things. You would rather do nothing or very little and be lazy. You develop this mental negativity which feels like you are just dragging yourself through molasses to do anything – much less 151 pushups.

But no! I cannot allow my weak mind to be lazy. I need to constantly work on those mind calluses and resist the temptation to slack off. I will keep my commitments, I will follow my process and I will not fail. I need to always remember that sometimes it is just going to suck. Plain and simple, no way to sugar coat it. It is going to be rough, it is going to be a fight to get though it, but persist I will.

I am retreating to the core, focusing on the commitment and hunkering down for a slug fest with my lazy, procrastinating self. I will not allow myself to withdraw, I will keep the 365!
