Need Help Not Giving Up? – Page 11 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

Detours are necessary

Team Disney Building at Walt Disney World — We often work on the weekends too. Try not to make it a habit.

Not a fan of going to the gym on a Saturday. But without yesterday’s workout, the week would have yielded only one gym workout. Flex when needed, but try not to need it.

Didn’t feel like doing it

Biking near Walt Disney World — Real life in real time. Post written 100 days ago. Photo taken one day ago.

Didn’t feel like doing it.

What?

Run.

But you love running.

Not in the dark, not in the cold, and not when other responsibilities are pressuring me for attention.

In spite of those, i ran anyway.

Why?

My health is something i’m willing to protect.

Skipping a run makes it easier to skip a second run. Skipping a second makes the third skip easier too.

Deadly.

Distractions are the devil’s way of saying, “Don’t worry about it today”

Walt Disney partners statue — The devil often comes disguised as something good or logical.

Distractions are the devil’s way of saying, “Don’t worry about it today.”

It’s just a cold

TV commercial with celebrity — Snapped this while watching a TV commercial last night. Oprah is making promises again about losing weight. i could help her.

It’s just a cold, not the flu.

Heading out for a run shortly.

Powered through a gym workout yesterday.

Didn’t feel like it.

Also didn’t feel like missing a day either.

Best advice for what to do when you don’t want to do it

Universal Studios thrill ride — Yesterday afternoon running past Universal Studios.

Best advice for what to do when you don’t want to do it?

Get creative.

You need a reason to trick yourself into just getting started.

Why?

Because once you start, you will quickly begin to feel better.

It’s overcoming the initial inertia that seems daunting.

So i rationalized…

i’ll run to my dentist because i owed them a phone call. Afterwards, i experimented with running through Universal Studios.

From not running to 7.5 miles.

Magic?

Yes.

PS. Was at Gold’s Gym Orlando when i began the run, just a mile down the road from Universal Studios.
