Start Today

As a psychologist, personal trainer, and nutrition coach, I spend most of the day listening to individuals give excuses as to why they can't, or more accurately, won't do what it takes to change. The difference between the individuals that are in fitness magazines, are competitors, or even the neighbor that likes to live a healthy lifestyle, and those that continue to talk about wanting to change, but never actually do anything to achieve their goals, is a desire to put in the effort, even when it's not convenient or easy. I hear...I'm going to start on Monday, or during this time of year, I'm going to give it everything I've got as part of my "New Year's" resolution, but seldom do I hear anyone say...I want to start right now...today. The definition of insanity is, doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. If you don't like something, whether it is in your professional, personal, or every day life, change it! Waiting for tomorrow is nothing more than an excuse to keep from changing.
