This week has been tough. I know every blog this week, I have talked about being busy or something along that line. I will talk about it in due time. But as Friday approached after a long time I was looking forward to the weekend. Usually, I am up for the week just like the weekend. I enjoy the work week too. But this week particularly has been tough. The 3 days of continuous rain didn’t help either.
I just finished work around 9.30pm. I am hungry. I come back home. I have my scheduled gym day today but I am feeling like skipping. I pray and then eat first. The food was great. I overeat, which was unlike me. It was still raining outside and the perfect end to this story would be good nights rest. That’s what I wanted too, I thought.
As I sat down to write my journal for the day, I realized my day felt incomplete. That unattended gym day was at the back of my mind. I could have just watched a movie and went to bed. But this was bothering me. I ended up feeling bored. The boredom made the gym session more attractive. Eventually I end up getting ready, cycle in the rain and complete my gym day.
As I come back home cycling in the rain, I think how consistent effort for a long time changes your mindset. I would definitely have taken the easy way and gone to bed right after eating, if it was 2019. But over the past 3 years my consistency towards exercise and my sincerity towards my goal completed shifted my mindset.
I have a hard time looking for like minded people who have a similar mindset. Hope in the future I can be among a community of these people.
