Will power is a weird thing. I totally get that it is their to make you get off your butt and motivate you. But what if you have different motivations that conflict with each other? Which should the will power follow?
For instance, Monday night I had a meeting and then a kickboxing class. I've been pretty exhausted lately and have been trying to stick with my New Years resolution of sleep, so a relaxing night to myself would have been great. However, I had already made a commitment of going to my kickboxing class. I need the fitness for the sake of my health, but I also need the sleep and relaxation for the sake of my health. What to do?
Well I don't know if it was the will power or the overwhelming pride I tend to have, but somehow I made it to kickboxing and it ended up being a great class. I was so exhausted beforehand that I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to handle it, but as soon as it all started I was fine. Was it the right thing to do? I don't know. But I'm glad that I did something for my health. And if nothing else, the feeling of not being a quitter is a pretty awesome one.
