Here is a perplexing problem for me. I went through a significant transformation with the adoption of the 365 commitment. I established several life changing habits, I lost a lot of weight, my health improved radically. I am now in the post stage of that transformation. All is good, but I have become addicted to embracing the suck and it is just feeling a little too easy right now.
It is just not sucky enough, I guess. Is that even possible? How do I architect a transformation of someone that has already undergone a transformation? Have I hit some plateau that I need to get off?
I have not hit all my major objectives yet, so probably what is really going on is that I have become laxidasical. As a consequence, I am letting stumbling blocks form and I am tripping on the small stuff. What is up with that? I guess I am recognizing that it is my mind at work against me again. The natural man is a weak, lazy, and unambitious creature. The only path is to beat that sucker into submission.
So today is Day 0. Erasing everything I have accomplished to date. Starting over. A reboot. Time to go back to the lab again. No more focus on the past, what I have done or not done. Time to refocus on the future. Rise up off this current plateau and set my sight on the next distant peak. Just as vulnerable, just as weak, just as unwilling as I was on my original Day 1.
I am going to give myself a good swift kick in the ass, light a fire under my stagnant attitude and find purpose and passion for the next. Yup. Time to transform the transformed. It is going to suck. Woohoo! I embrace suckiness!
