Yes, it’s December. How is that possible?
This is the time of the year when the bikes are put up, the shoes hung in the closet, gym attendance goes down, and people retreat indoors to stay away from the cold chill in the air.
Then there are those people that say to themselves .. I already fell off the rocker over Thanksgiving so how about I start again in January?
Well .. what is the difference between January 1st and today?
Nothing, really..
Why wait until the new year to change your life when you can do it today, and start feeling better tomorrow?
Sometimes it is so easy to come up with excuses on why we should start tomorrow .. whether it’s working out, starting a diet, or whatever it may be for you. But what people forget is that being healthy isn’t a ‘diet,’ and it isn’t temporary, .. the only way it’s going to survive the test of time is if it’s a permanent change in your life.
Does it have to be strict from day one and never yielding from those rules? No .. and it shouldn’t be, because that is when people ‘cave in’ to the little man on their shoulder and fall off the horse.
It doesn’t have to be one way or the other, with no in-between, but instead it should be a positive lifestyle change. When we are tempted, it should be much, much less frequent than before and done with a good amount of willpower.
We still have all the holiday parties, all the Christmas cookies, and many more temptations ahead of us.
Now, today, is the perfect time to say I’m going to stay strong, stay on top of the holidays, and change my life and the choices I’m making for the better.
Sure, it’s cold outside but it’s just motivation to walk a little faster and work a bit harder ..
