☕️Monday Motivation☕️
At church yesterday our pastor talked about the difference between trying and training - and it really hit home for me!
➖From our earliest memories, we were taught to merely “Try” things. Food, sports, classes, and even careers. This is a great way to sample life, but a useless way to live it.
➖What keeps us stuck is that we keep “trying” to do things rather than “training” to achieve them
✨To “try” is to attempt to achieve something with our existing skills and knowledge. If we fail, we just move on. Thinking of my life, I’ve always TRIED in the past to work out. Then I give up after a few weeks because it’s too hard and I’m not enjoying it.
✨To “train” is to commit to achieving something by developing the skills and acquiring the knowledge, through sustained and intentional effort and practice. When we train, we’re committing to taking all of the necessary steps until the result we’re after is produced. — Again thinking about my life, I decided to approach working out differently this time around. I read the book “Miracle Morning” to learn how to develop a morning routine in order to stay consistent. While reading this book I applied my newfound knowledge to my morning routine and I’ve been practicing it every day!! It’s been over a month since I started reading that book and I’m still going strong with my morning routine! 🥰🙌🏻 Don’t get me wrong, it takes commitment and dedication to keep going. But now I really enjoy my mornings to myself and it just sets my whole day up for success! So why would I go back to sleeping in, rushing to get ready, racing throughout my day to just catch up, and ultimately never get in any “me” time?!? That’s not how I want to live my life. So I’m going to keep TRAINING to have a morning routine that includes working out so I can feel good about myself and be more successful in life
💗Powerful results require powerful commitments!!
