“I’m starting on Monday.”
How many times have you said that?
Monday comes.
You don’t start.
Then you tell yourself you’ll start next Monday.
And the cycle starts again.
Here’s something I’ve noticed over the years.
Some of the best people we’ve had on our programmes didn’t start on a Monday.
They started on a Tuesday.
A Wednesday.
A Thursday.
We’ve even had someone start on Christmas Eve. 😂
And I get it.
Starting on a random Wednesday can feel a bit pointless.
You think…
“I’ll just enjoy the rest of this week and start properly Monday.”
But what happens if you keep doing that?
Monday comes.
Monday goes.
And you haven’t started.
Then another Monday comes.
And another.
Eventually that constant promise you’re making to yourself starts to eat away at you.
You know you want to do something.
You know you’re not happy where you are.
But you’re still waiting for the perfect day to start.
I actually did something similar with my garden.
I was sick of the trees growing everywhere and making the place look a mess.
Every week…
“I’ll sort it next weekend.”
Next weekend came.
Didn’t happen.
“Right, I’ll do it next week.”
Again.
Eventually I just got a gardener in and got it done.
And do you know what?
I felt bloody brilliant afterwards.
Not because I’d suddenly become a gardening expert 😂
But because I wasn’t carrying that little job around in my head anymore.
It was done.
And I think starting your health journey can be exactly the same.
If Monday comes and goes…
THE WEEK ISN’T WASTED.
You’ve still got Tuesday.
Wednesday.
Thursday.
Friday.
You don’t need to wait another seven days.
You just need to get through the door.
That’s one of my biggest mottos at JC Fitness.
JUST GET THROUGH THE DOOR.
We’ll take it from there.
Maybe not starting on Monday will be the best thing you ever did.
Because you’ll finally stop waiting for Monday.
And actually start.
