Cynthia's Story

Some days you are just going to feel like not doing anything. For me, when I want to do everything that I’ve got going on in my head, I end up doing nothing. I guess it’s this certain effect that once I go through and have written all my things for the day it seems like I’ve done them.

On these kinds of days, I try to remember what are my motivations for my life. What are the reasons you get up and take charge of your life> What goals, aspirations do you have lingering in your soul that need to be worked out/lived out?

When I remember my goals there in my warm cozy bed, why I am choosing to get up despite NOT FEELING LIKE IT, I start by setting a timer for just 5 minutes of working on just one of my goals. After that 5 minutes is up I am so happy to see that I don’t stop working on that current thing. This momentum gains more momentum for me wanting more and more. So I keep going.

Suddenly, I have realized that I have gone further on my runs, written more pages, or more creatively, prayed and spent time with God, not in a dull way but more intimately, gone deeper in my journaling and affirmations, and even I have found myself in the car heading to the gym and before I knew it, right in the middle of a workout session on the treadmill glimpsing down on the timer shocked and amazed at myself to have already completed 45 minutes. Honestly, it’s invigorating. I want this for you too.

They say if you want to become a thing, you’ve got to just do more of that thing. We spent so much wasted thought on trying to figure it out in our minds how do we do this, and conquer that. When all that energy was meant to be spent on taking action on that thing. I later realized that I didn’t want to waste anymore of my energy trying to figure it out. Because the bottom line for me is, that l end up burning 🔥 myself and the creativity and the momentum dies right there.

You will find that somedays whatever you may be working on seems like you’ll never reach it. It will feel overwhelming and kind of discouraging at the same time. But it isn’t the moment that you’ve accomplished such goals, it’s the process that makes that moment mean so much because you were able to finally reach them. The momentum that you had to find along your journey within you, the moments you really didn’t want too, the times you sat with yourself and really questioned if you could ever reach your goal, but found the resilence to just keep going and see what happens.

It doesn’t come just like that. It comes on those mundane ones. Like on a Tuesday. Like Now. Take Action.
