Getting Off The Couch

Last night was inevitable.  It was destiny…it just HAD to happen.  I started training again for another 5K in June.  It was hard, painful, and afterward, I could really ‘feel’ it.

But then again, whenever we make dramatic changes into our lives, the changes are always difficult and, while we’re going through it, we can feel the effects of our efforts.

You may not be running a 5K, but you may be trying to lose weight, quit smoking, stop cussing, quit gossiping, or just stop being negative, it all involves us having to take that first step, throw the cigarettes away, choose to NOT speak, or in other words, we need to get off the couch.

4 Suggestions to Help You Get Off the Couch

1. Choose to Change – No one can do it for you, you MUST chose to change for yourself.
2. Quit Listening to the Negative Voices – whether in your head or the people you hang out with…STOP listening to the junk.  You CAN change, you CAN be better.
3. Surround Yourself With Support – people, books, podcasts, music…fill your life with the POSITIVE support you need to achieve your goal(s).
4. GET UP / STOP / QUIT / FORGIVE /ETC – get off the couch.  Move.  Do something…immediately.  Don’t wait, don’t put it off any longer.  Whatever your couch is, I know it’s comfortable and safe, but LIVING life is never comfortable or safe.  To truly live, you must take chances and conquer challenges.

Please know that I don’t have it all together, but I am on this journey with you.  Please let me know how I can help you in your journey.  I believe in you and you should believe in yourself.  You can do it, just like I can.  But we BOTH need to just get off the couch!
