Psych Yourself Up and Go Out ANYWAY!

Goddarnit the excuses roll in sometimes when it’s time to go out.  I mean OUT out – like dancing, having fun, having a few drinks.   “I’m so tired,” is usually my number one bail-out; single parenting and working full-time leave me spent.  Feeling “fat and ugly” is usually excuse number two.  “It’s too much effort to get ready,” is usually somewhere in the mix too.

But I’ve come to realize that ALL of these excuses are reasons why I SHOULD go out.  “Me-time” comes far and few between, as do the occasions when my girlfriends get together.  And whenever I force myself to go out, I end up having fun and feeling grateful for my decision later on. 

So here’s what I do to psych myself up.  I watch and listen to this song on my computer with the speakers cranked,  then immediately go jump in the shower.  The combo of the two set the ball in motion and next thing you know, I’m feeling fabulous and on my way out the door.

Have a listen.  Get psyched.  And goddarnit girl – go have some FUN!  That’s MY plan for tonight!
