"Man it’s hot. It’s like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn’t take this kind of hot." - Biloxi Blues. Circumstances. 80's #movie quotes aside, saying it's hot in the desert is like pondering the blue of the sky. It's more than obvious... it's a conversational faux pax. A #crime against observation... As if the rest of us here in AZ somehow didn't notice. Trust me, we all have. But that doesn't mean the #work stops. Its just a #circumstance... one that will soon change. Thinking about it is about as useless as a weatherman in #Phoenix. Too many times circumstances are #elevated to reasons to stop moving, to break #positive habits and ultimately hurt your #progress. In these moments, you have an #opportunity to do one of two things: self signal that you will not tolerate #excuses or self signal that you will. Anytime you use some rationale to avoid keeping your word to yourself, you are telling yourself that you can't #trust yourself. Self signaling your own weakness. This will tear at the fabric of your #identity making you believe your are incapable. But the opposite is also true... in times of #tough circumstance when you self signal that you're going to do the work anyway, hit that workout, or walk to the #gym in 100+ degree heat: You GAIN power. You feel more trust in your ability to rely on yourself. You #moveanyway. Ultimately, increasing your self #confidence. It starts with little things. Commit to making small commitments that you will not break... soon that will radiate out into other aspects of your life. What say you? Share your wisdom below. Site + Light. J .
