START NOW!…this holiday season.
Just STOP IT!, this holiday season
This time of year is hard!
Yes it is, but so what?
It doesn't mean you can't get results, or at minimum, not fall off the rails.
Combining the holidays with pursuing results is, no doubt, a challenge. It takes some discipline and sacrifice, and consistency. You'll "mess up". You'll tell yourself that the New Year is right around the corner.
But answer this, what's going to be different in this magical new year that could've changed last year?
My advice ... JUST STOP all the mental gymnastics right now.
Stop giving in to every indulgence just because "it's that time of year".
Stop pushing off starting your game plan until the "perfect" time.
And if you are ready to develop a process that will result in reaching your goals, stop making excuses and just go for it. Right now, in the heart of the most difficult time of year.
You don't have to be perfect because:
1) perfection is impossible to reach for a long duration, and
2) it can be mentally exhausting detrimental to building a long term process.
But, you can have some small wins ... not eating as much as usual at a party ... limiting overall weekly alcohol intake (sticking to a drink per week budget) ... or create and implement a minimum number of exercise days/week even though you're busier than ever.
Whatever you do, just make it better than your default. You'll feel better. I promise.
And, by starting right now, we won't allow ourselves to fall into the old trap of the dreaded (and many times extreme) New Year's Resolution.
On that note, happy holidays everyone.
Remember ...
GIVE YOUR BODY WHAT IT NEEDS, WHEN IT NEEDS IT!
