On road trips there always seems to be arguing along the way! "Mom...they are looking at me!" "Don't touch me...mom they are touching me!!" etc...
The same thing happens in life as well. It became very noticeable to be on Saturday as I was doing my half-marathon training. The training for Saturday-5 miles!!! I haven't done that distance except for a March of Dimes walk over 23 years ago! That was just walking....this on Saturday had jogging in it!!!!! Well in my mind, I started going...well I can make it for sure to do a 5K but not so sure about the 5 miles! Well ok..I made it to 3.2 miles and said...well ok..you made it this far you can make it to 4 miles You have done that before. Yep...got to 4 miles...and said..You know what...you have gotten this far you might as well go ahead and finish up the 5 miles! So I did. It was an argument in my mind...part of me wanted to talk myself out of it...part of me was fighting to finish the 5 miles!
When the arguments come...push yourself to finish what you set out to do! Don't quit!!! Keep going! You will feel better because you finished! Don't let the "stinkin thinkin" get the best of you!!! The more you beat the "stinkin thinkin" the easier it will be to complete your goals!
Keep on keeping on....
