Who Gives a #@$*!

It was cold and raining when I awakened this morning...then it got colder...and grayer. This is truly one of those days one wants to just climb back under the covers and/or have a manhattan and forget about everything.

But this is precisely the kind of day one must overcome his or her inclination and push forward with renewed energy. Lucia likes to say, "When you feel your worst, look your best!" I think it's good advice.

I once heard a lecture on tape by an AA speaker who's main premise is, "Your mind is crazy. Your mind is your enemy. You have to take control away from your mind because it will lie to you at every opportunity." I think he was on to something.

When the alarm goes off at 3:47am every morning, I can think of a thousand reasons to just roll over and sleep. But that is when I tell myself that my mind is trying to sabotage my exercise routine and I get up, get dressed and head outside to run. Later, I'm always glad I did so.

The same is true of working...I can always think of a thousand thing to do other than writing copy or recording that next message-on-hold or commercial. That's when the smile comes out and I get down to it. Perhaps I should use some of that energy to improve www.smooth-male-voiceover-talent.com ...oh hell, I'll just roll over and close my eyes for a few minutes...
