I saw an article on the web last week which was debunking fitness myths. One of the myths they mentioned was that you had to work your abs really hard in order to be able to see them. Apparently that’s not true; what really needs to happen is that we need to get rid of the fat that is covering them up. No matter how hard you work your abs, if they’re covered in a layer of fat then you’ll never see them.
I could ignore that little tidbit because, quite frankly, I have no need to see my abs. But the truth still applies, just in a different way. We run into the same myth when it comes to enjoying our holidays; we believe that if we just work hard enough and employ enough time management techniques, enough self-discipline, and enough organization, that we will be completely overjoyed. If we do everything just right we’ll be able to say, “I love my holiday!”
