Your Excuses Show Your Lack of Prioritization
How many of you know people that find every excuse possible why they can’t exercise? They work long hours. They have kids to take care of. There’s way too much to get done around the house. They don’t have the money to pay for a gym membership. The list of excuses goes on and on without end. Every time you show them a way to work around their excuse they simply find another excuse to use.
It’s not only pathetic but truly a shame. These are the same people who will put on weight (if they aren’t already overweight), get sick, and then want to blame everyone else and every other factor other than looking in the mirror. I want these people to take a good hard look at themselves—because those excuses will not work here.
But…but…but…STOP with the excuses!
Here’s the cold hard truth buttercup, your life is no different than anyone else. Your excuses to find time to take care of yourself shows your lack of discipline and your lack of willingness to make your health a priority. You’re selfish. You want the easy way out in life. And unfortunately, with your lack of willingness to exercise you’re going to find yourself in the ground sooner rather than later. I don’t need to sit here and type out all of the ways that exercise can help you through life. You already heard them all, and know the facts. Yet, you choose to look the other way.
Here’s the kicker of it all. The people who make excuses why they can’t exercise are the same people spending hours upon hours at night watching television just vegging out. My thought on all of that is if you value your life less than what the Bachelor or Bachelorette are doing on television, you clearly have your priorities all jacked up. Here’s a better idea, why not watch your goofy shows that contain no educational value WHILE you are doing your cardio each night? People can go to their local gym and watch these shows, or if they have a treadmill or bike at home, they can watch their shows while being physically active. And with the advent of smartphones and tablets, you can now watch live television or even recorded shows on your DVR right from those devices. So, you not only don’t have to miss your “very important” television shows, but you can better your health and longevity.
Here’s what I would love for people to do (completely my opinion)
I would love for people to try and better themselves in every way possible, both mentally and physically without coming up with excuses why they can’t. If people would use their time wisely, they could kill two birds with one stone. If you plan on doing cardio for any amount of time, you could LEARN new skills or better the ones you want to hone in on. For instance, there are so many amazing podcasts and audio books out there that while you are doing your 30-60 minutes of cardio, you could be listening to something educational. I understand people like to relax and not think about work and business by sitting in front of the television and relaxing while watching sports or a certain show, but why not take some key moments where you could be productive and better yourself by doing something educational?
