It's never too late...


The holiday season is almost upon us. With only a couple of weeks left to get all the gifts sorted and final holiday preparations being decided, the added stress of getting into shape or worrying about getting out of shape can leave most cramming in as much training in what’s left of the year or at worst, delaying any training or diet plans. You can worry about that after the holidays, right?
It’s easy to overindulge during the holidays, and there ought to be no guilt associated with this, as everyone deserves a break, but the new year rolls around quickly and resolutions will require pondering, then action. Most will only act for a couple of weeks and then quit. The holidays then turn into another round of expectation of change and yet, is almost always followed with failure.

But that’s about to change. Start envisioning your desired goals for next year, write them down, maybe even make a plan or two, and then start now. That’s right, start now.

Why would I start now when there’s only a couple of weeks left until the new year? I’m stressed enough as it is, and I’m not too out of shape. I just want to relax. It can wait.

I hear you. But there’s no such thing as waiting for the right time. Start now with what resources you have. The majority of people simply want to look great and fit into their old clothes, and you know what? You can. It’s a matter of habits. Small changes made on a consistent basis will yield the desired results. Take a walk couple times a week. Replace a couple of meals with healthier alternatives, or simply add a nutritious meal when you would normally skip a meal. Do you need to overhaul your diet? No. Can you make one or two changes? I’m pretty sure you can. Easy steps.

Getting started is the most difficult part. If you have the momentum now, why wait? Use it now.

I want you to realize it is never too late to start making positive changes in your diet and life, even if you will be tested during the holidays. When the new year rolls around, you can pick up where you left off, rather than having to start at the beginning. Keep your vision, believe, expect you will manifest your vision and keep going.

If you would like some suggestions as to what you can do now to get started, or if you have any questions, then please get in touch with me.
