Don't let your excuses sabotage your life
Our minds always play tricks to keep us safe and comfortable. In that process, it creates wonderful excuses.

Yesterday I came back to Hyderabad so I didn't get time to do a long run on Sunday morning which is kind of routine for me. Thought of doing it in the evening but my mind started giving excuses like you are starting your own company so plan for that, Last week had a 36KM run so this week is good to take a rest & etc.
I thought for a while and asked these 2 questions:
Are these thoughts true?
Are these thoughts or stories taking me towards my goal & 2023 resolutions?
By asking these 2 questions understood that those are excuses not helping me in any way. So went for a run and had a great run.
After that felt great because I am in the driver's seat of my life.
Question yourself on the stories you are telling yourself taking towards your goal or taking away from your goal.
