Student Fitness Journey: Proper Focus

During this Student Fitness Journey there has been one thing that I have kept in mind that has helped me keep going with my daily workouts.

Like many of you I’m a very busy person, I have a work life, a school life, and a social life. When you start to get involved in all of these different parts of your life your to do list starts to get longer and longer. Before you know it, you don’t have time for anything other than getting items off of that to do list. For me personally it got to the point where I didn’t have any time to work on myself.

I realized while I was working out yesterday that all of the sudden I have this extra time to add fitness into my hectic schedule. It seemed a little strange at first but then I thought about it, but then it started to make much more sense.

It wasn’t like all of the sudden I suddenly had more hours in the day. What really happened was that I started to make sure I had at least an hour a day to work on myself. At Humber College we have a workout facility on campus and no matter what time I always ended up going for at least an hour. No matter how late I finished my classes or assignments, I always go for a one hour workout.

How I look at it now is why can’t I just put everything else on hold and spend an hour on me. I work extra hard with everything else I take on but then I never have time to work on myself. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that nothing and no one is more important than you. When you have that really long to do list it should always be you at the top of it. You should always be putting the most effort into ensuring you spend time on yourself to make yourself better so that you can do a better job on all of the other things you take on.
