Do you matter?

Each Thursday morning I have a personal training session and then follow it up with a CardioBeat class at the gym. I always feel better for having done it but invariably beforehand I find myself coming up with reasons why I just can't make it that day. Generally it's because I see too many things to do and not enough time to do them all. The solution? Cut out something that isn't shouting at me - like the gym, and do it...... when I have more time.
But... there is always the same amount of time, every single day for every single person on the planet - so how do some people manage to do what matters and others do other things before the things that matter?
I read something yesterday that really clarified it for me. It was that if we choose not to look after ourselves we don't value ourselves. Our decisions are based on what we value so I've decided that physical exercise is a non-negotiable part of my day.
I feel better already and I DID go to the gym this morning :) How about you?

I totally agree, when I don't exercise I feel rotten. So now I have set days in my diary and I always go - I FEEL great for doing so, especially afterwards!
