Not That Into It

The Obstacle

We don’t always feel our best
A little tired
sick
Hungover
Allergies.

Not down and out
But not that into it.

We feel like calling it in
Putting in less effort
Doing a half assed job.

It would be easier
To go through the motions
Without the effort.

We would rather not be here
Doing this.

Would rather
Be in bed
Relaxing
Away from all this.

We feel it
Others feel it
Performance suffers
Relationships suffer.

It’s hard to do well
We’re difficult to be around
When we’re not that into it.

We would rather not be here
Yet here we are.

The job needs done
The event still happens
People still count on us.

We can choose
Set aside our misery
Our despair.

Let go of our mental anguish
Release the extra weight
We choose to carry.

We do not need
To suffer more than necessary
It’s a choice.

Get out of our own head
Choose to let go
Of our mental misery.

Do that and we
Show up better
Perform
Even enjoy.

Get into it.

• Feel the avoidance
• Accept being here
• Release our added suffering
• Do what needs to be done
