Be Snazzy!

Okay, by my count it is day two of the New Year's resolution program. I didn't start on Saturday January 1st because, well, it was Saturday for goodness sake! Who starts self-improvement plans on the weekend? Day two and I have managed to keep my resolutions. I worked out yesterday and today, and I have done writing practices daily. The hardest part of resolutions is trying not to stress out about them. I play a pretty good game of 'What if?' with myself. What if I get sick? What if I miss a day? What if I lose my momentum? It's as if my own brain wants to derail my efforts at being fitter and more productive. When I feel myself entering a crisis of the mind like this, I have only my cognitive behavioral therapy as back up. All these thoughts are just negative self-talk posing as real problems. It is up to me to drown those voices with snazzy comebacks. Sick? I'm not as likely to get sick now that I am exercising daily. Miss a day? Get right back in the groove the next day. Only celebrities and athletes work out every single day. Lose momentum? Not possible. I create my own momentum. Maybe these comebacks aren't exactly snazzy, but I think my therapist would be proud.
