I am so enjoying reading and watching your post, for so many reasons. your advice is extremely helpful, your writing is fun to read (especially for an English teacher ), and frankly it feels like a way of reconnecting and staying in touch which is always good 🙂 I especially enjoyed reading your 3 tips this week and could relate to all of them… I can honestly say I have done all 3 even sleeping in your workout clothes the night before lol. Whatever it takes, right? as far as what to do when i feel myself lose momentum, the truth actually relates a lot to the advice you gave and those three tips. It is simply to find and remember the joy there is in what I’m doing. this joy can take many forms, I’m doing an activity with her friends, to listening to an audiobook while working out so I want to do more in order to get to the next chapter, or in my case even remembering what it was like during those times around my surgery when I couldn’t participate in activities and would have given anything to be going for a walk or doing yoga instead of being in my wheelchair. for me a continued struggle since then has been limitations in what I am doing. I am someone who is been used to being active and or an athlete for most of my life. I sometimes will find myself getting frustrated that I can’t do some of the things that I used to, and this might cause me to shut down somewhat. I tend to be a positive person in life, though, so I do my best to focus on the things that I can do and celebrate those instead of being negative andr letting it shut me down for too long. Still, though, I think that is trying at times. I’m always trying to find new activities that won’t do damage to my joins or retrigger my injury. In fact my latest goal is to try a barre fitness class which I’ve heard can be really good. Anyways I continue to enjoy your posts and hope you keep up with them. Peace and blessings my friend, hope all is well 🙂
