Is today the day?
I am afraid not. What am I talking about? I AM GOING TO GET FIT. Just not today.
Yes, getting fit is my goal, but what does that mean? Physically fit? Spiritually fit? Emotionally fit? Check. I often feel like they go hand in hand and I am sure many others do as well. I don't think it is realistic to try to get "fit" in all ways at once. You are setting yourself up to fail. Too much change at one time will overwhelm even the strongest of us. I don't have any real rules for this challenge.
Your 31 days can be anything you need to reboot. No TV, no internet, maybe dedication to read everyday. The reboot is anything YOU want to change.
Science say it takes minimum of 21 days to form a new habit. How long does it actually take to form a new habit?
Why not start today?
Because I don't want to. Really that is it. I have been thinking about this plan for months. I want to start today but I am being realistic. I am not ready. I want to go have a snack. I am going to spend the next 2 weeks motivating myself for this experience and hopefully my work will motivate you as I collect and publish articles and inspiration from each of the 7 dimensions of wellness. When someone asks me, "How are you?" I say "I am well" I want to say this and actually mean it!
