I am wearing underwear that doesn't fit....For the third day in a row. (at least it's not the same pair! :P)
I started thinking about it on my way to the studio as every single step I took on my 4 minute 22 second trip there, made my parts uncomfortable. I thought, "What the hell am I doing?!" I had the CHOICE to not put on this pair that I fully well know are not a good fit for my bum. "Why did I do this to myself?!"
I give you this TMI (too much information in case you're not familiar with TMIs) to illustrate something so many of us are guilty of way. too. often.
We CHOOSE to do things that are counter productive when a straight forward better way is available. We CHOOSE the "easy" way out instead of the one with more benefits. We CHOOSE for right this second vs. better in the long run.
Back to my knickers. :) So this morning my thoughts were like this: "S*!t, I really hate this pair of undies. Why do I only have these aweful pairs left? Where are all of my undies? Ahaa... They must be in the clean laundry pile on the couch... Nah, I don't want to go find them now, I'll just put on these uncomfy ones."
So, I CHOSE for what seemed easier at the moment (not making the effort to find the good ones) instead of CHOOSING to make the effort for what is good in the longterm (happy parts all day long).
If you are still with me after the TMI, now comes the link to wellness...
December is the month so many fall for the crappy (no pun intended...) undies. Temptation of party platters spilling over with delicious desserts, the stores full of special holiday foods, and the never ending to-dos the we use as excuses to miss workouts become our ill-fitting panties. We CHOOSE immediate satisfaction of gorging on unhealthy foods or the easier way of skipping exercise sessions and then suffer with stomach aches, tiredness, guilty feelings, and getting fatter. In the long run, it is so. much. easier. to CHOOSE the effort of taking care of yourself and giving up some instant satisfaction.
Ready for the tough love?
If you are wearing uncomfortable panties or boxers, the truth is, you CHOSE to put them on. As such, you lost your right to complain. Start making better CHOISES NOW. Don't wait until January to remove the ill-fitting panties. By January those panties will have grown stuck to your behind.
Salut i felicitat,
Kaisa
