Discipline

Today, I'm feeling a bit low. I had a rough night's sleep and woke up with a pounding headache. It's one of those days where I just don't have the motivation to do anything. But I've learned that on days like this, it's important to push through and do what I need to do. Even though I really don't want to, I know that taking a cold plunge will bring me mental clarity and help me focus on what's important. And despite my headache, I know deep down that going to the gym will actually make me feel better, even if it's a struggle at first. In terms of my diet, it's tempting to indulge in whatever makes me feel good in the moment. But I'm striving to be a more disciplined version of myself, someone who keeps their commitments and does what needs to be done, even when it's difficult. Last night, I received a spiritual impression to do something that I didn't want to do. However, I believe in listening when God speaks to me, even if it makes me uncomfortable. It's not always easy for me to follow through on these things, and I often fall short of my own standards. But I'm committed to improving and doing better each day.

Cold plunge thoughts.

Do you ever have those days where, man, it's just tough to get moving?

I'm having one of those days today.

Slept poorly, woke up with a headache, don't want to do the things that I know I need to do.

But what I've learned on these days is you got to push through and do it anyway.

Don't want to be sitting in a cold plunge. but I know how much clarity it gives

me, how it helps me focus, how it helps me remember what is important.

I don't want to go to the gym because my head hurts, but I know that going to

the gym is going to help, even if it makes my head hurt more.

I don't want to eat right today because I just want to eat things that make

me feel good because I don't feel good. but I know that I don't want to be the old Jethro.

I want to be the new Jethro, the future Jethro, the disciplined man who keeps

his commitments, who follows through, who does what he needs to, even when it's hard.

Last night I got a spiritual impression to do something, and I really did not want to do that either.

But I want to listen when

God speaks to me and although it was incredibly uncomfortable for me to do I

still did it I don't always do that a lot of times I ignore those things a lot

of times I fall below the standards that I've set for myself but I'm determined

to do better at it every single day.
