This is one of the slowest times of the year.
Many people don't do much of anything between now and the New Year except eat leftover holiday food, watch movies and relive all of the top stories of 2012 on TV and the Internet.
Already people are saying, "I'll wait until next week," or, "Let's work on this in the New Year!"
I get it.
It's nice to kick back and rest. It feels good to take a break from the everyday routine. I hear ya!
And at this point of the year -- it's so easy to give into our short term, irrational mind.
WHY?
We have the most perfect excuse ever.
"I'll start January 1st!"
It makes perfect sense in our mind. The best part? It absolves us of any and all cognitive dissonance...
In short: the mental discomfort that ensues when we have two conflicting desires.
In this case...
A part of us wants to do absolutely nothing and lounge around. And a part of us wants to take action and do what we know we SHOULD do.
Well there's only one way to completely get rid of the dissonance. That's to take action.
(Note: This is one reason why so many clients report being so much happier after a few weeks with MBT. Because they're finally taking *consistent* action on something that is so important to them. Something that has been on their mind for along time.)
Or...we can rationalize our inaction away.
In this case: "I'll start January 1st!"
No, I'm not saying we need to cut our vacation short and start the New Year right now. After all, I want to relive the top stories of 2012!
And I'm not only talking about our health and fitness goals. I'm talking about other things as well. Everything impacts everything.
However, if nothing is going to change between now and January 1st besides the date, what we're telling ourselves is delusional.
Because if we wait until January 1st to start, the date itself becomes the agent of change. Not us.
INSTEAD of waiting to start doing everything again on 1/1/13...why not commit to doing a leeeeeetle something today and this weekend?
This way, when 1/1/13 hits we're not starting back up from a standstill.
We're starting with momentum.
And momentum can be our worst enemy or best friend.
ARE YOU SO NOT IN THE MOOD TO DO ANYTHING?
How about committing to just:
1. Walking for just 10 minutes
2. Throwing away the unhealthy leftovers
3. Eating a super healthy lunch
4. Cleaning up one closet
5. Doing one annoying task
6. Doing 10 push-ups
7. 20 jumping jacks.
8. Finishing up that project
9. Submitting your feedback tonight, no matter what
10. Doing something you might normally do the first week of the month now
I know. I know.
It's soooo easy, and tempting to just keep on doing nothing and start from zero on the 1st.
Nothing begets nothing. But, something begets something and that = momentum.
Why not have it on our side rather than it working against us?
