Just not feeling it

Are there ever days where you're just not feeling it? "It" being anything from work to the gym to social activities to (ahem) your translation homework. I think those types of days really separate the weak from the strong, metaphorically speaking. I'm not an advocate of continuing to work for a job you hate every day, or participating in an activity just because you think you have to. Those situations aren't "just not feeling it" days, those are cases where life changes are needed. "Just not feeling it" days are the days when you see what type of character you really have. Are you lazy? Well, then these days are just an easy excuse to continue that. Are you an extremely social person? These days will help teach you what your thresholds are.I believe that the actions one takes when faced with a situation they would rather not be in shows what type of person they truly are. I believe that lazy people can pretend to not be lazy until faced with an easy out. I believe that social people can fool themselves into thinking they always need to be around people until they realize they may value some type of alone time. "Just not feeling it" days are good every so often, we need them so we can make mini re-evaluations of what really makes our skirts fly up in life.This is all well and good, and I can spew this type of empowerment and self-awareness talk all day every day. That whole "walking the talk" thing is always harder than it should be though. For example, I just got home after playing a game of softball and then enjoying some beer and mini-Reubens at the local establishment. I should really be getting my bag ready to go to the gym tomorrow morning before work. But guess what? I'm just not feeling it. The questions is, will I do it anyway? What kind of a person am I who squawks about doing things even when you don't want to so you can prove what type of person you are but then even considers skipping her early morning gym run? I DON'T KNOW EITHER!!!So stay tuned.
