The Revitalization of my Life-Day 18 (Part 2)

When you are on a roll, you are on a roll and you have to take advantage of it. The post that I posted this morning inspired me to make something happen that wasn't suppose to happen...WORKING OUT! When I got off work, it was late and the sun had gone down and I figured that I would just wait until the morning to go running. I walked in the house, spoke to my wife and begin to change my work clothes. As I begin to do so, she asked me was I going running. I immediately thought to myself, "I didn't plan on it, but I guess it was still possible to do since she asked." I looked out the window and noticed that it was really getting dark outside, but then I thought about the many obstacles that WE place in our own way and this was one of them. Just because it was dark outside, didn't mean that I couldn't make my run...that's what they make street lights for.

As I begin my journey, I starting going into deep thought. I starting thinking about how easy it would have been for me to have just not put my workout clothes on and not run. But then I started thinking of how easy it was for me to do so. Then the epiphany came. When my wife asked me if I was going running, she noticed that it had become a part of my routine and this triggered her questioning me about it.

When something becomes part of our routine, it makes it more easy to get done. The hard part is making it become routine. I had the thought that I wanted my workout to become so involved with my routine that I do it even when I am on vacation; even when we just make short trips to visit friends for the weekend. If you can workout even when your in a state of relaxation, then you know that it's deeply embedded within your routine and that you have accomplished a great goal. Because real relaxation starts by knowing that you are maintaining your body to help maintain your mind.

All of this was triggered by my wife just asking a simple question...thank you God for a woman of her statue!!!
