Day 15

River North

As much as I love walking, there are some days when I really don’t feel like it. Today was one of those days but to be fair, I didn’t feel like doing much of anything today; working, exercising, walking. Despite it, I worked out when I got home, showered, and went on a walk. Besides knowing that the walk would make me feel better, which it did, I wonder what else pushed me forward.

Sometimes I think that I’m too strict with myself. Sometimes I think that I could make more exceptions for when I am tired or sad or just need rest, but when those moments come, I ask myself how I would spend the time that I save not doing what I originally planned to do. Often, I can’t think of anything beneficial, so I persevere. I’m sure there are times to make exceptions, but I struggle to justify them.
