This was a good article for me to read today. Discouragement comes from many different sources--from comparing yourself to others, to just feeling run down and stressed. For me, it's hard to get motivated this time of year. The weather is cold (and has been rainy), food and drinks (and holiday parties) are copious, and there is just so much to do! Shopping, decorating, planning, etc. So many things to get in our way, which is just more the reason to stay active. If you take too much time away from the gym, it's so much harder to get back on schedule. Keeping things simple is a good way for me to make it through. I don't have goals set too high, or workouts too hard or time consuming. I find that if I just get IN the gym it keeps me on schedule. Then I don't have to worry SO much about the food and drinks that come with the holidays. I'm able to consume and enjoy without feeling too guilty!! Just keep on moving!!
I will always compare myself to "that girl" that just always seems to look incredible--but then I remember that if I work as hard as "she" does, and commit myself as much as "she" does, that one day I'll be "that girl"!!
Happy Holidays!!

Thanks for this post. I will admit, I have been guilty of this before...but I can speak from experience that if you focus only on yourself, you will find people start comparing themselves against you. Thanks for the encouragement.

Good topic! We live in a very superficial world and people get so caught up. I guess we can call it a lack of focus!

Great post man! You hit the nail on the head. Our brains are like computers, at first they are like brand new with all the programs we want on them. Then as time goes on we tend to get spyware/viruses (from negative things others say or negative thoughts we for some reason think about ourselves) on them. All that clutter tends to distract us from what our goals might have been and may even make us throw in the towel. When all we need to do is put the cd in that allows us to clean up the spyware/viruses and get back on track at full speed again.

Thanks for the inspiration Darrell!
