Ughhh, but I'm not in the mood Adam!!

Clients tell me sometimes, "they're just not in the mood."

Ya know what? Sometimes, I'm not in the mood, either.

Why do we need to be in the mood for something to do the work? And yes, it's work.

Existing isn't work.

But living? That's work.

Thriving? That's a lot of work.

It's called work because it's difficult. Not because we need to be in the mood for it.

Very few people wake up each day in the mood to eat healthfully or in the mood to exercise. People aren't usually in the mood to push themselves harder than they've pushed before or in the mood to be brutally honest with themselves - which can be quite uncomfortable.

Of course, what we're in the mood for is irrelevant to how our body performs or how we exist, live or thrive.

For today and the rest of the week, let's not pay so much attention to what we're in the mood for.

Let's pay attention to the work.

Then, when we're thriving, we'll be in the mood to continue thriving.
