It Comes Down to a Choice

So, as all of my readers saw, last week was a very rough one and it very much bled into this week as well. But, as the end drew near, I felt like I could breathe again. Having that one day off to not worry, to go and explore the Lawn on the D, and enjoy time with many people at the House did more for me than I can explain.

Sunday is always a weird day. Many see it as the end of one week and simultaneously the start of a new one. New things are always good, because they give us another chance.

Last week, I gave myself excuse after excuse of why things were not completed, why I didn't feel motivated to knock out my lists....I did myself more harm than good. It's very easy to slip into the mindset that it'll just get done tomorrow. That whole procrastination thing again...

This week will be different - I will get myself back on track in mind, body, spirit, and school. I fully believe that is the reason God gives us so many "new" things. New days, weeks, months, years... He understands that we need that reset sometimes. I definitely needed it this week.

Really it just comes down to one question - how much do I want to be successful? Answer: A lot. Then, it becomes a choice. Am I going to stay in and watch Netflix all day or get dressed and go to the gym? Do I really need to buy things for Mac and Cheese at Star or will I go home and eat the veggie meals that I have in the freezer? Do I really need to be on the internet again or is there something else that I could be doing?

Even though these decisions don't always seem like they're a big deal, they will end up impacting life later on. I have to remember that - that getting to my goal of (there's a lot, so use your imagination) I have to start today. I have to eat right today, I have to accomplish the to-do list today, I have to walk the whole way to the gym today, ...

It goes on and on. Will it be easy? Not in a million years. We all know that I have made an art out of procrastination. So, starting today, I am going to try and break that habit. Yes I know there will be road blocks and pot holes, but the important thing is about coming out on the other side of it all.

Until next time, readers,

Kaity
