Is There a Perfect Time to Start On Your Fitness Goals?
Category : Uncategorized
Does this sound like you?
You’re about to start a diet or workout program, but then – CRAP! Something comes up.
You’ve got a big project due at work, and it’s going to take a lot of your time.
Well, it looks like you’re going to need to start next week.
Oh, wait.
You’ve got family in town for a couple of days.
Alright, let’s push it off to the next week.
Shoot.
It’s your friend’s birthday bash that weekend.
“Next week will be better,” you tell yourself. “I’ll be ready then.”
And the cycle keeps repeating itself.
Pretty soon, it’s weeks or even months later and you haven’t even begun.
Now, the thought of starting is overwhelming.
You remain stuck, waiting for the right time to begin.
When you keep saying you’ll do something “later,” you’re basically saying “never.”
You’ll always have some reason why you “can’t” get started.
So how do you ever get started?
Remember, taking action on your health and fitness isn’t an all-or-nothing thing.
Many of us associate dieting with severely restricting and following a rigid meal plan.
That’s not a good idea because we’re not going to have success with anything if we can’t sustain it in the long-term.
Instead of thinking you need to add all this stuff into your life, start with one small thing.
It could be as simple as eating a lean protein source with every meal or exercising for 10 minutes in the morning.
Plus, you’ve just got to re-shift your priorities.
If you know you’ve got a busy week at work, spend less time doing things like watching Netflix, scrolling on your phone and cleaning your house until it looks perfect.
Spend more time doing things like grocery shopping, prepping your meals and working out. Besides, these things are going to serve you and your long-term goals much better.
While it may seem like you don’t have much “free” time, you can still do something. Never use a busy lifestyle as a reason you can’t reach for a goal that’s super important to you, especially when it centers around your health.
Remember, somewhere out there, someone busier than you is getting more done!
