Day 47: Sometimes knowing is not enough

On a different post, I talked about how all things are connected. Now that I walk, I am drinking more water and doing more stretches - it came about naturally. What did not come about naturally is the same consistency.

I walk 6 days a week for 30 minutes...it doesn't matter how tired I am, how sore I am, how late it is, how crazy the day or how much my children need...I walk. I have committed myself to walking, I am determined to walk and meet this goal. I like that.

I am not doing as well on stretching and drinking water. It frustrates me that the determination for walking did not magically translate to stretching and drinking water. I must be pretty naive, but I kind of hoped having determination for one thing (walking) would ensure I would have it for other areas...but no.

I guess, each area that needs improving will need me to make a commitment to it. The upside though, is that I don't have to come up with new goals...that "natural" desire that links all things together will help determine what goals to add and when.

So...I am walking for a year....and stretching for a year (yeah, I know, water is important too, but only one new goal for me - I don't want to fail before I even begin!). In the future I will be writing about my journey in both areas...and hopefully adding new goals along the way.

I think that is part of the journey as well.
