Tending to doubts or being pulled into the jungle?

Some days you wake up and you feel like writing, you feel like working out, you feel like taking on everything. Some days you wake up and are kind of, somewhere in the middle. Today I am somewhere in the middle. 
Feeling “fine.”
The real power is choice. I still wrestle with the idea of a long ingrained behavior for me (and many others):  The behavior is something around, you’ll feel like it and you’ll do it.

I think this has been a hindrance for me for years.  The truth is you start doing a thing and you’ll cultivate the feeling of doing it.  This is more on the day to day basis that I’m talking about. 

After enough days and weeks, it’s no longer a question of “do I feel like it.”  It’s just something you do.  The question goes away.

Sometimes you’ll be knocked out of your routine consistently enough by a worldwide pandemic, an injury or what have you. 

I’ve now though, gone enough days without working out consistently that the question has returned. “Do I feel like it?” “Do I want to work out?” “Why do it today if I won’t do it tomorrow?” and so on and so forth.  

These questions, they need to be tended to, but they need not really be given much answering because they are the type of questions that will pull you off the path and into the wild jungle of useless doubting and thinking, and away from doing and momentum.  

So, it’s not about denial, or burying your feelings and thoughts about something, those are there for a reason, you do need to tend to those thoughts.  Tend to them after putting yourself into a good frame of mind. Maybe after a nice cup of coffee, or a walk, or a call with that friend who has the same sense of humor as you?

Momentum. 
A great idea. I hear it mentioned and talked about a lot.  I think momentum is quite simple. An object in motion stays in motion (and object at rest stays at rest).  

Now of course, an object in motion will be slowed down by friction.  For us humans friction can manifest in many ways, daily friction of schedule, agendas, the need to look at social media, and on and on and on.   

Yet, getting into motion is simple-difficult sometimes but simple: Do.
