Ever planned to do something but, when the time came, you just didn’t feel like doing it? 🙄 Maybe it was a workout, a class, or a business task.
On one hand, you feel like you need the rest, so skipping it feels like an act of self-care and kindness.
On the other hand, you wonder if you’re just being too easy on yourself, and maybe you should be more disciplined.
So, how do you know what’s true or what you should do?
Honestly, I don’t know and I’m an overthinker, so don’t ask me! 😂
But here’s what I do when I feel this inner tension: I do SOMETHING, even if it’s not the full extent of my plan.
Today, I felt tired and didn’t want to do yoga, even though I had promised myself it was yoga day.
Instead of forcing myself into a power yoga session or something energetic to prove my willpower, I chose a short restorative class where I spent 95% of the time lying on the mat.
I adjusted the effort of the task to match what I felt capable of, but still honoured my promise to myself.
And by the way, I felt soooooooo much better and actually more energised after the yoga, plus I was super proud of myself for following through on my commitment. Instant mood boost💪💖😊
How do you balance self-discipline with kindness?
