Falling Off Track

Aaaaah. Today's been fun.

And in this case, I mean that in the most sarcastic tone possible.

What made today so awesome, you ask? I took quite ill. Fever, chills, heaving, the works. Signs of the flu? I hope not, but I ain't ruling it out yet.

I spent most of today in bed, missing a class and other things along the way.

But here's what I realized from being sick that got me most: I wasn't able to go walking tonight.

It's not that I'm an exercise fiend. It's not that my life depends on walking constantly. These things couldn't be farther from the truth.

The reality is that I know it'd be all too easy for me to think nothing of "I can't walk tonight; I'm sick." Yeah, that's a legitimate fact and reason not to do it. The thing is... it throws off my work to create a physical habit, perhaps even an addiction to exercising regularly.

And I know how easy it is for me to throw out good things like walking if I don't drive myself with extreme discipline (which does not come naturally for me).

This same behavior carries over to other things in life. Things like getting homework done, spending time with people that need it, giving God His due, and so on.

I gotta push myself in discipline if I wanna be consistent in this. How about you? Got anything you should be disciplining yourself in?
