So I’ve been working out and in a good routine lately… one day I woke up and this is how the convo went between my flesh and my spirit:
Flesh: I think I could do something different today, I’ve been consistent in working out that other way.
Spirit: Nah, just do it, stay consistent
Flesh: but, I’m still active just changing things up- let’s walk to the 4 way- that felt good last time.
Spirit: nope let’s just do what we been doing because once you do that you’re going to keep pushing the needle and stop all together…
Flesh: You really feel like running? We can just walk but for longer
Spirit: Alright, now you're just procrastinating, just do both, first the regular workout then the walk 🙃 since you want to walk so bad…
Flesh: ughh, okay.
So long story short, I did my regular
Workout and I’d be darn if I was about to walk that 2 miles after. Task completed ✔️
I haven’t negotiated with myself again after that so that’s a win because now I’ll “ just do both” my way into being consistent 😅 when the flesh thinks it could argue with me all day.
“Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my reins and my heart.”
Psalm 26:1-2 KJVm
