Just do it!

It's funny how that little Nike slogan can apply to so many different things in our lives! Of course the obvious, EXERCISING! The hardest part is just starting. Whether it's getting out the door for a run or flipping on the TV to do a video or hopping on the treadmill, we(and when I say we I mean I) need to just do it! Because we all know that once we have done it, those endorphins go shooting through us and we are happy and feel so accomplished! Because as Elle Woods would say, "Exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't!" That quote has so much relevance for me! HA! My husband could testify that I don't get after him nearly as much on the days I have worked out versus the days I haven't. So moral of the story. Just do it. That also applies to so much more than just exercising. So many times we tell oursleves that we can't do something. That whatever it is, is out of our reach or we are just not capable of it. But that way of thinking is completely false. We can do things that are out of our "normal". You are so much stronger than you think you are and capable of so much more. (I'm telling myself this as I'm telling you.) We just have to make that decision to get up and do it. One of my favorite quotes says, "Do accomplish things we have never before accomplished, we must do things we have never before done." We can't go on doing the same old things and expect different results. So I am off to exercise and get it done! And that my friends, makes me happy! What do you do to get off the couch and get moving?
