I couldn't help thinking today how much I enjoy sweating and expending energy. Sometimes its like pulling teeth to get me off the couch, it's just so easy to be lazy. My brain WANTS me to be lazy. Some things I really look forward to, some things I procrastinate doing, some things I don't enjoy until after I am finished..BUT when I am finished and I am sweaty and my muscles ache and I am out of breathe I thrive!
I think that the more lazy I am the more I feel like I am just dying. If I put effort into life my body feels better, my mind clearer and my emotions more stable. So the question is Why does my brain fight it? I wanted to write down what I was thinking, so that when I am feeling lazy I remember that I like being active. Its kinda like being depressed, when you are depressed you feel like you have always felt that way and its not until you are pulled out of it that you realize that you use to feel normal and energized and happy.
I am going to try to do something active that makes me sweat every day. It's good for my body, my heart, my mind and my soul.

I had this exact same thought about running this week. I always feel SO good after I run and it last so long and the rewards way exceed the 30 minutes of almost heat stroke. And yet, it takes almost every part of me to get me out of the door. Drives me crazy, that is, once I finish the run and remember how freaking great it feels and how all the crazy just leaks right out and I am sane, happy, and ALIVE when I get back!
Good Job Bre!
You go!!! Totally true. I always feel better when I work hard or push myself, but it is sometimes hard to convince myself in the beginning.
