For the two past week Mollie and I decided we want to start riding our bikes everyday to help get more in fit. This of course isn't an easy thing for me to do since I have to wake up an hour earlier then normal.
Two nights ago, as I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep I was thinking of how I needed to get up at 6:00am in order to ride my bike with Mollie. I just thinking how I didn't want to ride my bike that early, I just wanted to sleep in a little. I fell asleep with the mindset I wasn't going to ride my bike the next morning. Then when the morning came, Mollie tried to wake me up. I told her that I just wanted to go back asleep, so of course she left, I fell back asleep. When I woke up for the rest of the day, I regretted not going on that back ride.
Last night before I went to bed I told myself that I'm going to go, that I can't go back asleep. When morning came, I woke up with a smile on my face because I knew that I was still going to go. I ended up getting the satisfaction of actually waking up early and doing something good for my health.
This got me to thinking some more. The battle really does begin in our minds. If I walk into a war with the mindset I'm going to lose, chances are I will lose. I don't know about you, maybe you're different from me, but I need that positivity to keep me going. I need a mindset centered on Christ to do this. If it's centered on me, and my selfish desires I'm going to lose these battles every time. I will lose the war if I don't get my mindset under control.
