The Time Is Now


 If not now, when?  I'll start tomorrow.  I'll start Monday.  Why put off until tomorrow, what you can do today?  Right?  Easier said than done!

You have a goal that you want to accomplish, but you keep putting off your start date.  What is holding you back?  I do understand wanting to start something new at the beginning of the week, but what happens when the beginning the week gets here, and you decide to start tomorrow?   Then, tomorrow becomes the next day, and so on, and so on.  

It's so easy to procrastinate.  I know, because I do it.  In fact, I'm pretty good at it.  This is a habit that I seriously need to break.  In order for me to break this habit, I have to tell myself that "It's now or never!"  If I don't get up and start doing what it is that I am supposed to do, I know that I might never start.

I would guess that some, if not many of you, are just like me when it comes to starting to work toward a goal.  This is a big problem with beginning diets, exercise, and other self-improvement activities.  If not now, when?  The time is now.  Set your start date and stick to it.  Better yet, stop procrastinating altogether, and start today!  You will be happy that you did!

Doubt Can Kill Your Dreams

Doubt kills more dreams that failure ever will.  All of us have dreams (or goals, if you want to look at them that way.)  As an example, we want to lose weight.  When you decided that you wanted to do this, did you doubt that you could do it?  Did you think that you could do it, and then have someone else tell you that you wouldn't be able to do it, therefore, making you doubt yourself?  How do you think that this will affect your attempt?  If you have a bad day, do you just throw in the towel, and tell yourself that you knew you couldn't do it? I fall into this category.  I want to run a mile, but I have caught myself doubting that I will ever be able to do it.  I have doubted my ability to do this for many years. I justify the doubt by telling myself that I'm just not a runner.  Well, I want to get past that.  I really want to be able to run a mile.  I know that to accomplish this, I will have to constantly tel...

Why Do You Want Me To Fail?

What happens when your significant other doesn't support you in your journey?  What happens when their words and actions hurt?  What happens when you feel like your friends don't support you, and want you to fail?  Do you think about quitting because it is just easier than dealing with the hurt, and lack of support?    What is wrong with people?  Friends and significant others are supposed to love you and support you, so why don't they?  People in general, (not all people, but many) are mean, selfish, and belittling to others.  They want to bring others down, and they work hard at doing this.  It makes some people feel bigger to bring others down.  When you are in this situation, it is hard to see.  The problem is not you!  The problem is them!  Some people are just miserable in their own lives, and they try to reflect it on other people, when they should be taking a good look at themselves...

Decisions! Decisions!

 Every day, all of us have to make decisions - what to wear, where to go, what to do, what to eat, and probably many more decisions.  More often than not, I struggle with decisions.  Some days I go through 2-3 outfits before I make a decision.  I'm often involved in the conversation of "Where do you want to go?" "I don't know, where do you want to go?" I am an "over-thinker," and sometimes, I think that makes it even more difficult to make the decision.  There are times that I wish someone else would just make decisions for me! I just got back from vacation, and I had a very difficult time making decisions - food decisions.  A few years ago, my boyfriend and I went on vacation, and we were both on diets.  We went to this famous restaurant, and didn't want to cheat, so we didn't eat anything that we "shouldn't" eat.  That was over four years ago, and we still talk about how we will never do that again.  It bothere...
