Losing Steam

Hey Everyone

It can be easy to lose steam when working towards our goals. Life comes up.

It can be a simple as a bad day or as serious as a family illness. For me personally I am solar powered, and for the last 8 days it has done nothing but rain and I have been trapped by a low hanging grey sky. One or two days is nice, is an excuse to hunker indoors, watch a movie, read a book, take a nap, sauna or bath. BUT 8 DAYS! I was going STIR CRAZY! I sat on the couch for nearly a WHOLE day! For those of you who know me, know that...that is NOT me! I lost momentum and focus on my goals. I became a LUMP!
Then I remembered something I learned in Biology in high school, my favorite subject!

"An Object at REST will tend to STAY at REST and an Object in MOTION tends to STAY in motion"

This was one of Newton's Laws of Motion. And I believe it applies not only to obects but humans as well. Many of us have experienced the essence of this law when we begin an exercise program after being sedentary for sometime.

It is also stated in science that it takes the MOST Energy OUTPUT to get MOVING again after being at REST.
Meaning it is the hardest point of effort, after that it is NATURAL to get into a flow.
Your goals and effort to acheiving them are NO different. Last night around 9 pm I decided to get up and do something small...just to start...but it took me till 9 pm and a lot of guilty talk in my brain all day to get there. I did something as simple as organize my office, which lead to another productive activity, which lead to an even MORE productive and meaningful activity...suddenly it 2 am! Here I am today tackling the world again, even though it is day 9 of cloudy greyness.
It's a Small Victory but a victory none the less! Celebrate all your small daily victories...Success is also a motion and a flow you can create in your life. So if you find yourself at rest when your heart knows there is more in store for you, start with something small and don't stop!
