Anyone Feel like Procrastinating Their Health?

AnnaValek

I'm sure we've all thought this before:

"I'll stop eating ___ tomorrow."
or
"Tomorrow, I'm going to start exercising."
or something else related to this.

I've discovered something. This mentality fails for me. I've found that I motivate myself when I say, "You know what? I'm not going to wait for tomorrow. I'm going to eat healthy NOW, for whatever meals I have left. I'm not going to repeatedly snack starting NOW. I'm going to pick up an extra bottle of water NOW. I'm going to go for a run NOW.

By doing this, I feel like I've kicked myself in the *kitten*. I don't need the extra night to get myself in line. If I'm dedicated to this, then I should be able to start being healthier NOW instead of waiting for a benchmark. I'm only denying the inevitable and in turn denying myself of a healthy lifestyle.

I'm not going to wait for Monday to start exercising, nor will I wait for New Year's Resolutions or Labor Day. I'm going to start now. All resolutions made in the future will simply be to continue doing what I'm doing.

Don't wait the 12 hours to change yourself. Start Now.

Just do it.
