Motivation

On the 27th I get paid. I'm going to use some money to join the YMCA. I can work out after work. And if I get off work when the girls are being picked up from school and daycare, I can take them with me. The Y offers child care.
I don't really have extra money right now. But I also know how important this is going to be toward my health. I can look at this as an investment in my future. A priority.
And I can forgo things I would have normally impulsively gotten because I'll remember that I'm spending money on the membership. And instead of trying to get happiness from things, I can attain happiness from taking care of myself and seeing progress.
