There is the saying that is something about motivation does not last, like showering, you have to do it daily. It is something like that.
My own personal take is that this is not black and white. I mean, with the analogy, my showers are not consistent. Sometimes my showers are quicker when I don’t wash my hair. Sometimes my showers are longer when I remove body hair. Sometimes I get all fancy with the loofah on a stick and do an extra scrubby-scrub. Sometimes I take a regular ‘ole basic shower. Sometimes I relax in an Epsom salt bath! So many variations that all lead to the same result – me being clean.
With that in mind, staying motivated isn’t always going to look the same either. Sometimes it can be as easy as looking over your plan of where you want to be. Sometimes you have to dig deeper and really get in to the “why” of what you are doing. Some days are just a quick glance at where you are headed, and you are ready to go!
Tonight I am thankful that every day is not the same. I am thankful that even in a practice that ends with the same results, there are regular variations. Another good saying – variety is the spice of life!
