Got the "Fuck-It's?" Also known as deliberately choosing to flop or raging against the very thing desired.
Sometimes I don't give a fuck either. Even when I’m making great progress I can turn the other direction (sometimes this seems easier than maintaining a healthy habit)! In this article, I’m discussing being ok with going off track for a moment and re-committing to coming back. The reason this is so important is because in health, wellness, and society we are bombarded with rules and guidelines. Strict principles that regard us as being healthy or not, or needing the next fix. From pressures to look a certain way to eating certain foods to moving our bodies certain ways or buying a magic product that can transform the way we look and feel. It’s a mind fuck on its own. I’m not looking to give you more rules to follow…I’m inviting you to look within and discover what makes you feel your best and accepting where you are at, right now, and getting real with that. Giving yourself permission to take a week off exercise (not because you’re sick, injured, or don't have access), having dessert after a few meals during the week, or not texting back your people is ok. This will not break you or your healthy efforts and habits! But, you might find yourself saying, “Fuck-it, I don’t want to go to sleep early tonight and I’m going to drink more alcohol than I usually do.” If this example does not apply to you, think of something you’re craving to do or something you have historically overdone it on. Maybe you’ve been avoiding this thing and now you’re doing it AAAaaaand you’re going to go overboard! 🤠 For some people their overboard action is not safe and puts themselves and their family and friends in harm’s way. Please don’t do that, and if you fall deep into a not giving a fuck cycle, seek psychological counseling or speak with your doctor, seriously. What I’m getting at is that when you choose to not give a fuck, you understand what you are doing from the perspective of making a choice and connecting with what you really want. For example, “Fuck-it, I’m not going to exercise this week even though I said I would.” This is not about not doing what you said and pretending you did it, it's about accepting the intentional choice not to do it and becoming aware of that. Live up to the fuck it without guilt! Then, get right back on the horse, and maybe even with refined goals. Take this as an opportunity to reconnect with your goals or maybe add or take away something that’s holding you back. Sometimes doing too much is exhausting and motivates us to fall off track. Overall, accepting yourself and your actions goes a long way. My approach to fitness and wellness is not all or nothing, it's more like all of something and discovering how you feel with intentionality behind actions.
