Carpe The Diem
Training Your Follow Through Muscle
If you assume I’m a ruggedly handsome, super-fit, rockstar PT, you might also assume I bounce out of bed every morning ready to train, eat “clean” foods, and carpe the fu*king diem.
Would it shock you to know that isn’t the case most of the time?
Most days, I’d rather do anything else.
Even if that “anything else” involves replying to emails or dealing with people I actively dislike.
The difference is I stopped waiting to feel like it.
I stopped needing the mood to match the plan.
What changed?
I trained my follow-through muscle. (Not that one.)
Doing what I said I’d do when I didn’t want to.
Not because it’s inspirational.
Because it’s necessary.
You want discipline?
Stop romanticising it.
It’s doing a half-arsed workout you didn’t want to do.
It’s prepping one meal instead of ordering takeaway again.
It’s dragging yourself out for a walk because you said you would.
Not because you felt like it.
Because you’ve decided this is what you do now.
Exercise and conscious food choices will, at first, feel like one more annoying thing added to your already mildly miserable life. (Yikes.)
But if you can find a way to move that you can stomach twice a week, and a way of eating you can stick to most of the time—not all of the time—that’s where it actually starts.
Prepare to cringe: “No one ever regrets a workout.” 🤢
It turns out…
They give you more energy, not less.
They provide a bit of peace from the misery.
Not more.
Your Task for Today
Pick one thing you’ll follow through on. (Not that one.)
Not because you’re excited.
Just because you said you would.
That’s how this whole “discipline” thing starts.
Motivation’s great… right up until you need it. Then it’s slamming the snooze button while convincing you that tomorrow will be different.
On the next one: Setting yourself standards and why raising them quietly changes everything.
