I started a new exercise program.
I tend to get sucked into
projects
and
I knew I’d need help
sticking to this program.
I asked a loved one
to remind me
about exercising.
And I was specific
about how
I wanted to be reminded.
I asked him
to mention
one of a few phrases
I associate with the exercises.
He has been doing that,
I’ve been happily
sticking to the exercise program.
and I feel no resentment
toward him
for reminding me.
Everyone is different
and you should know you
better than anyone else.
Teach people
how to coach you.
Don’t expect them
to know your particular quirks.
