January

There are a ton of things that I would consider my style…shopping, eating at wonderful restaurants, cooking, going out…the list goes on. But motivation just doesn’t come easy to me. No matter how much I want something I typically can’t find it in me to make that change. My current lack of motivation is frustrating because I am taking a class (in my last semester of senior year) all about healthy living. It doesn’t just focus on nutrition and exercise but behavior and state of mind as well. This is particularly hard because I feel as though I have been handed many things in life and really haven’t tried for many things. For example, my body has stayed mostly in check through college (even though I have done everything from eat incredibly unhealthy and drink tons of alcohol) and every job I have gotten has been handed to me from a family member or friend. So, although these things make me happy…I have done nothing to deserve them.

As May approaches faster and faster I see change just lurking there…waiting to crush me. And I’m scared I won’t be able to handle it. I will be on my own (no financial help from my parents) and will need to find a job on my own as well. Months ago I should have been revamping my resume, reaching out for job opportunities and going on interviews but I can’t seem to motivate myself to do so. Also, in the aforementioned class, we have committed to a “Behavior Change Contract.” This is a statement we created ourselves to help improve our lives. Mine was to do cardio 3 times a week and weight training 2 times a week. Since then (8 days ago) I have done one weight training day. Pitiful!

The 7Pi7D quest is centered around change. I, unfortunately, am one of the people writing about a lack of change…mostly asking advice on how to change…or motivate myself to change. It is all mental, but I just can’t seem to grasp it. I wish I could have written a more upbeat post about the positive changes in my life…but it has all been pretty stagnant for the past year. But all advice and comments are welcome!

Thanks for stopping by!
