There’s one activity that’s been on my mind a lot recently. My legs and soul ache for it.
What is this activity?
Walking outside.
I LOVE nature. And I happen to live about 10 minutes away from about 3 different forest preserves and walking paths.
But I haven’t made it part of my routine.
Why?
Well, I have lots of excuses:
- Getting up early to walk before I head into my office means I have to go to bed earlier which means less time with Nate in the evening (and some evenings he’s not home until almost 10pm). I highly value evening time with Nate.
- If I walk around lunch time it’s about an hour out of the middle of my day. That sounds frustrating.
- I’m in a nice groove with my current weekly routine and I don’t want to upset it!
I’ll stop there. I have many, many more excuses. And that’s really what they are, excuses and not reasons.
Basically, they’re all some version of: I don’t have time and I’m not willing to make time for it.
Yet, it’s still a habit I want to create and find time for, but I don’t.
Do you have anything like that?
A habit that you want to create that you have lots of excuses to avoid. And yet it stays on your radar because it really is something you want to do?
Or maybe for you, it’s something that you know will grow your business, but it’s outside your comfort zone and a little (or a lot!) scary?
Well, over in the Productivity for Women Entrepreneurs private Facebook group, I asked the ladies what habit they want to add this week and commitments have been made! And I added my commitment to walking each day (now I HAVE to do it! 😉 ).
If you want to add your new habit (or what habit you’re trying out for the week), you can find the post here.
And if you can’t see the post because you’re not a member, request to join and I’ll add you!
If you haven’t already guessed it, this week’s Wednesday Live with Evie is about habits.
I’ll talk about how to create them, change them, look at those pesky excuses/reasons and answer any questions you have!
Wednesday Live with Evie is Wednesday at 1pm CST from my Facebook page here.
