The Trouble with Getting Started

This week, I'm talking about the strange resistance we feel toward things that we actually WANT to do and why getting started can be harder than the activity itself. After a long break from the pool, I recently had my first swim workout. But not until after extensive mental negotiations and gymnastics trying to talk myself out of it. But, as I knew would be true, the first 10 minutes were predictably miserable but then I had fun and felt great. Just like I knew I would.
