I have always found that when it comes to working out, and I I get stuck in my "want to," it really helps to be doing it for something bigger than myself. (No pun intended!)
Recently, I made a commitment to run an 8k for the Wounded Warrior Project. This is a cause that is really close to my heart. I have had many family members serve in the armed forces. Thankfully, none of them were wounded. But I have met and loved many others who were hurt emotionally by the traumas they witnessed.
So, I am running for them all. Thank you to all who have served.
What I had forgotten, is how having a cause to train for solidifies my motivation! I want to get to the track every day. I want to do well at the run, for them!
Yesterday, I was so tired after working and praying at our healing center. Normally, I would find that to be an excuse to forgo the workout. But because of these precious people, I couldn't wait to push through the tiredness and GO!
Find a cause! If you have been stuck or unmotivated. I promise you, it really works!
Blessings!
