Just do five

Sunday is my day off, the day I just do things I want, including not writing posts and sending my daily inspirational quote. But normally I do my daily exercise, but today I didn’t feel like it. So I asked my Higher Power, as I often do recently, what to do, but I didn’t get a clear answer. Just something like ‘it doesn’t matter’ or ‘do as you please’. And that answer didn’t satisfy me. And then I remembered something I learned from someone I can’t find the name or website from right now. And that person indicated that if your goal is too big or too far that you can start by doing one percent, imagining one percent. And then increase that every day, so at least you get the feel (and you can talk about it, pretend as if it’s already there fully).

So suddenly it became clear to me what to do: just do five where I normally do twenty. So I did and it felt very good. And next to feeling good to just do my daily exercise, follow my habit, something amazing happened. As I realized that doing five is very easy for me right now. As when I started my daily exercise a few months ago, I could barely do five, as my body was completely out of shape. And today it was just easy, just five.

So when you don’t feel like something, but still want to do it, just do five, or one, or one percent, or whatever feels good to you if it’s not the whole thing, the whole amount. And you’ll be amazed with what you find.
