Have you ever asked yourself that question? “Why do I not listen to myself?” Now, I’m sure I’m not the only one who has weird, crazy voices in their head, but those aren’t the ideas I am talking about when I say listen to myself. I’m talking about the good things. Why, when I tell myself, “it’s time to ride the exercise bike”, I decide not to. Or when I tell myself, “you don’t need that second plate” I still go and eat that second plate?
If I could just actually listen to myself then I would be a far more healthier person. Last week, or maybe two weeks ago, I don’t even remember now, I wrote a post about working from home once again and the benefits that were coming from it. Earlier dinner times, cooking healthy meals, more time to exercise, and many other exciting things. I am still doing these things, but they are becoming few and far between now.
My business is beginning to pick back up again, so I am once again working 8-10 hour days, which is perfectly fine. I keep telling myself that I am going to wake up at 7 and exercise. When I wake up at 7, I usually just go right back to bed or lay around until about 8, which is when I open up the Macbook and begin my day.
Do you have any tips or suggestions on how to make yourself listen to…. yourself more often? If you do, I’d really like to hear.
Thanks ya’ll and have a kick ass weekend!
Totally the same thing on my end, Chris. I need to actually listen to myself, and NOT listen to myself – depending on the situation and circumstance. One thing I’ve found that helps me get out of bed in the morning is 1.) making sure I went to bed at a decent hour the night before, and 2.) that I have a good reason, like walking the dog or something as my motivation. Whatever works, hope you find it and are able to start listening to yourself as needed!
