“
I don’t have time to exercise.” I say these words a lot. I’m a very busy person. Intellectually I know that what I mean is that I don’t have time that I want to allocate to exercise, but the feeling that I don’t have time is quite real. Tap along with the exercise and see what comes up for you.
Setup (tapping on karate chop point): I don’t have time to exercise. I’m a very busy person. Where would I find the time? I have way too many things to do so I don’t think I really have the time to exercise. In spite of all my excuses about time to exercise, I choose to love and accept myself anyway. Even though I have an amazing number of excuses about why I don’t have time to exercise, I honor that part of me that knows that I really do.
Eyebrow…I don’t have time to exercise
Side of Eye…Sometimes that feels really true
Under the Eye…Sometimes I know it is just an excuse
Under the Nose…I AM really busy
Chin…I have a lot on my plate
Collarbone…Other people rely upon me to get things done
Under the Arm…I often feel overwhelmed with all I have to do
Top of Head…Lets face it, adding exercise to the mix seems pretty daunting
Eyebrow…At the very least it could be quite inconvenient
Side of Eye…I don’t know how I would fit it into my day
Under the Eye…What other things would I have to give up?
Under the Nose…If I get other people to do their own stuff I could probably find some time to exercise
Chin…But that will mean conflict
Collarbone…If I asked for help with some of my own stuff I probably could find some time to exercise
Under the Arm…But asking for help is hard
Top of Head…I realize that I don’t have to do it all at once
Eyebrow…I could do a little bit at a time
Side of Eye…Like just parking one spot farther out in the parking lot
Under the Eye…If I really wanted to exercise
Under the Nose…I could be creative in my scheduling
Chin…The first step is deciding that I really want to do this
Collarbone…Then I can decide what exercise or exercises I want to do
Under the Arm…I might be fun to take a class
Top of Head…And learn something new
Eyebrow…I could get the whole family involved some of the time
Side of Eye…Or I could have this as “me time”
Under the Eye…It feels somewhat good to thing about doing this for myself
Under the Nose…I have the same amount of time each day
Chin…That everyone else does
Collarbone…It is up to me to decide how to use it
Under the Arm…I will have to make some choices
Top of Head….Making me a priority
