Motivation is a funny thing. When you are in motion and getting things done that are important for your progress – it is almost always easy to stay in motion. When you begin to slow down and take it easy on yourself, then getting motivated to get in motion is much harder. I see in myself that I still have stronger weeks and days and then some weaker ones.
I have been in some of the weaker ones in the past couple of weeks. I would like to pass it off with just the start of school season and all the additional things required of me. But then, I find when I do put it in motion – many of the other things get done too. I have had a couple of very productive days in many ways except in the physical ways.
So now I need to bring those things back in line. For me it is Do the physical first, followed by do for our students, and then the school as a business. I know that I am a better person, teacher, and business person when I take care of myself physically first.
About 5 or 6 months ago I started doing weight training again. It has been working really well for me. First I have a trainer and then second appointed time. If you have not done any weight training lately, give it a try. I will suggest Excellence in Fitness in Annapolis or in Arnold. One of the best I have ever been to. I am stronger and they hold you accountable for all parts of your fitness. Till next time if you see me Do something to motivate me to get my tasks done. Thank you.
