Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Work Outs are tough. The very thought of MORE work, or EXTRA work, and really going ALL OUT, makes me tired. I have a history of pushing myself Past the pain and Past discomfort and Past tiredness. It's one reason I have all these sports injuries and this fatigue in my mind when I think about the almighty WorkOut. But I like to play. I like to walk if I don't have to wear out all my energy for the day doing it. But if it's a Play-Out, I can walk at a pace that respects how I'm feeling. I can stop and look at spring flowers and savor a nice breeze. I can stop and watch dogs playing and laugh. And then the spring in my step gives me a little more speed for my walk. I like to hoop. I'm not good at it, but if it's not a WorkOut, then Being Good At It isn't the point! PLAY doesn't have limitations like that. My goal is to play more. If I get the benefits of a WorkOut without working, but by PLAYING, then that seems a lot more worth it to me. I'll have to break the habit of driving myself like a stinkin' mule train. It will take time and I'll slip back into that habit of chug-chug-chugging along joylessly. But I can do it. I can self-correct and remember to Play. Over time. helped me to get that.
