So, in an earlier post, I think it was Dec 29, I had mentioned how I didn’t listen to my body and so I got sick. Well, I am pleased to report that this time when I felt it coming on, I took it slow. I didn’t work out or do anything active like that. The result…I didn’t get sick and now I get to work out instead of been out cold for 2 weeks. I’m really pleased with myself.
What it comes down to for me, is giving up for what I want in the moment(instant gratification) for the long term desires. See, I wanted to workout and I could of and been happy with that day, but then I wouldn’t be able to workout for the next two weeks. Sometimes you just got to bite your tongue and let it go.
Watch, I’ll probably get sick tomorrow.
Much Love,
Mike

“What it comes down to for me, is giving up for what I want in the moment(instant gratification) for the long term desires.”
I keep on practising this concept. It almost applies to everything in our life. You wake up in the morning and you get caught up in all sorts of random activities that you do not like hoping that on the long run it’s gonna get you where you want.
I used to be an instant gratification addict, but I’m trying to get rid of that.. still not cured totally though..
