Put Your Shoes On

The other day, my husband and I were having a conversation that made me think about our actions. We were talking about how when you get home from work, it is real easy to "talk" yourself out of doing things. You come home, are tired from work, or stress, or shuffling kids around, so you put on your comfy sweats, sit down in the recliner and next thing you know... it is time for bed.

When, at some point early in the day, you had the intention of coming home working out, going for a walk, cleaning, going hunting, ...or whatever it is that you planned on doing. But some how by not doing anything, you talked yourself out of doing your planned intention.

Sound familiar?

How many times have you said "Oh I will do that later?" or "Oh as soon as I get home, I will do it."

And it never happens.

Guilty!!! I have done the same thing. But what if, instead of thinking about it... You just "PUT YOUR SHOES ON."

Instead of giving yourself a choice, or a chance to have think about it, just do it!!!!

Have those workout clothes laid out in plain sight, or put your tennis shoes on before you leave work. Then you don't have to think about it, there is no chance for a "feeling" or "motivation" to kick in. You just do it.

That's exactly what my husband did the next night, and guess what ? It worked. He didn't leave it up to chance, or leave it up to motivation to get the task done. He just put his shoes on and took action.

When you are starting a new transformation, or weight loss journey, it is real easy to wait to take action. You wait for the right time. You wait until everything else is done. You wait for life to not be so busy.

But what if, you approach your day differently. Take action before you have time to talk yourself out of it. Put those shoes on and take ACTION!!! This is the first step in you becoming successful in your journey.
