The Danager of Starting 'Next Week'
|
"I'll start next week" How many times have you made that promise to yourself? Only to let 52 weeks go by having done nothing 📆 Saying you'll start next week gives you a get-out clause Reader It buys you time Time to come up with an excuse as to why you can't start when you said you would "I'll start in January" is the 'on steroids' version of this It's a brand new year So everything will be different right? You'll be motivated 💪 Christmas is 'out the way' 🎄 You'll have the new workout gear, the Apple Watch with the fancy health monitoring, and the new Airpods ⌚ 'Time to hit it hard' 👊 Except you don't You start off motivated but that fades within 3 weeks Christmas is out the way but then it's your best friends birthday in Feb (and your holiday in March, and a big wedding in May) You use your Gymshark gear for sitting on the sofa eating Pringles The only activity your Apple Watch records is you binging season 3 of that highly addictive Netflix show. 📺 Nothing has changed Why is so hard to start? Because you don't start If you just take the first step, the rest will take care of itself But you HAVE to do it If you start with me before Christmas, we don't have to go hard We can just spend a month tracking what you already do Eat a 2,000 calorie treat after dinner?
