Why You Must Start Before You’re Ready

Happy Monday!

Struggling with my weight, food, exercise, it’s hot, clothes don’t fit, gotta put on a swimsuit, can’t get  to the gym, when I get to the gym  I’m already exhausted….

All of this chatter in your head, is very real.

And there’s a name for it.

Resistance.

This comes from an excellent book by Steven Pressfield, called Do The Work.

The book is focused mostly on artists and creative types And business builders.

And there’s a woo-woo element in the book. But don’t allow that to cause you to dismiss the important principles.

And most important is  the principles can be applied to your weight loss and fitness goals too.

For example : You know you need to lose 20-30 even 50lbs or more…

You KNOW you need to lose it, you KNOW exactly what to do to lose it(the information is abundant and free all over the internet, even on my blog)

But the chatter you hear in your head, the negative self talk…

It will be hard.

I’ll be sore

I’ll feel  disgusting.

People will laugh at me.

I’ll never be able to eat anything I like again.

It’s expensive.

There’s that show I watch every Wednesday night.

And on and on and on.

THIS is resistance.

And it’s universal to every person on earth attempting a great thing.

And there’s only one way to beat this resistance and get the thing you want.

And Pressfield is very clear to the ONLY way to beat resistance is he say’s….

“START BEFORE YOU”RE READY

Remember, our enemy is not lack of preparation; it’s not the difficulty of the project or the state of the marketplace or the emptiness of our bank account.

The enemy is Resistance.

The enemy is our chattering brain, which, if we give it so much as a nanosecond,will start producing excuses, alibis, transparent self- justifications, and a million reasons we can’t/shouldn’t/won’t do what we need to do.

Start before you’re ready.

Good things happen when we start before we’re ready. For one thing, we show huevos. Our blood heats up. Courage begets more courage.The gods, witnessing our boldness, look on in approval.

And it’s universal to every person  on earth attempting a great thing. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,the chance to draw back,always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and  creation, there is one elementary truth,the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising one’s favor all manner of unforseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could  have dreamed would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: “Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”

If there’s one thing you should remember this Holiday week.

If you wait until the mysterious never defined “right time” there  NEVER WILL BE A RIGHT TIME…

Start before you’re ready.

Start today.

Start Now.
