Mind Over Matter...

I have to remind myself that if it doesn't matter in my mind, then it won't matter at all to me. "It" can be anything really...relationships, your job, your work ethic, working out, your character..anything that can be quantified really. I saw that picture today and it really made me think because I woke up this morning thinking that I haven't worked out in 2 days. Well, why not Angie? Because even though I say I'm ready to change, I have't gotten it down in my mind to where it really matters. There's a difference in saying the words and performing the actions.

When I was in HS my band director said the most profound thing, hey I was like 14 it was profound, but it has stuck with me til this day..repetition is the mother of consistency. My HS band was one of the best if not the best in the entire state of TX and it was because of mindsets like that..we did it over and over and over til it was damn near perfect, or as perfect as us little marching robots would get. I didn't really grasp the concept of our rehersals and the methods behind the madness that we had to endure in the TX heat until after I graduated HS and was in the LSU Golden Band from Tigerland..while how we performed on Sat nights mattered there was NEVER the same intensity or drive for perfection because it wasn't really drilled into our minds..at least not mine...

I say all of that to say, that, the things that matter to you the most you will make time for because in your mind, they're important and worth taking action against. I was in such a foul mood yesterday and I had a headache that I probably induced with the help of me wearing my glasses which I'm not used to but my eyes needed to breathe. And it didn't matter that I didn't work out monday I still was NOT going to workout yesterday because well, I didn't want too and I woke up thinking about it. Maybe it does matter to me after all because I was bothered that I was about to fall back into a "routine", so...I'm not beating myself up, just saying, that I'm not fully at the point where exercising matters in my mind, but I'm getting there,..YAY ME! Maybe I can channel the gym rat in me..she was FIERCE!

Brown..out!
