Small consistent effort for the win!

This is something I’m trying to keep in mind on a daily basis. Like this morning, when I really, really didn’t feel like going for a walk.

Of course I fully understand that I’m — yet again — battling the good old “law of inertia.” That’s the law which basically states that an object will continue to be in the state of rest or in a state of motion unless an external force acts on it.

Having (for the usual excellent reasons — yes, I’m being sarcastic here) fallen away from my walking routine, I have in fact become a body at rest. And it’s taking a lot of force in the form of will power to get me moving again.

So I love this reminder that even walking to the top of the driveway and back counts as a small effort. All I have to do is make it consistent and I, too, will be able to claim the win!

Getting things moving again

“An object that is at rest will tend to remain at rest.
An object that is in motion will tend to remain in motion.”

— Isaac Newton

Yep, the good old “Law of Inertia” rides again!

It takes a lot of work/energy to get things moving, so once they’re in motion, the important thing is not to stop. I’ve learned this over and over and over in my life; here’s hoping this is the time it sticks.
