5 Things Keeping You From Wellness

I love this post – it’s so true. This is the message that I try to convey to anyone that asks me about my fitness journey and I often wish they would stop and ask what would happen if you stopped waiting for someday, and started today? They would feel great, look great and learn to do a friggin cartwheel at age 40!

Talking with people about wellness gets me excited. The thing is, some people just want to talk about how great it would feel to be well. Then, they complain because they feel like an old tired, run-down Ford.

So, here are a few clippings of what may be preventing you from reaching wellness.

It’s a simple step many people overlook. If you’re on the fence about finding wellness in your life, you’ll soon be upset because you’re not finding wellness. That last sentence may have seemed a bit odd as you read it, but if you’re not moving toward wellness, you’re moving away from it. Decide you want to feel good.

Do something today that moves you closer wellness. Think for a minute about authors. Books don’t write themselves, and writers don’t complete a book in just one hour. They work on it daily until they have a clean, edited book to reveal to the world. It’s no different with wellness, you must take action. Even a small action is better than none. Just take that action, today.

Many people mistakenly believe because of  some 30 second commercials that you can transform your body in just a few seconds, or days. You cannot, but you can schedule some time to work at it daily. Then soon, you’ll be seeing and feeling the difference.

What would happen if you stopped waiting for someday, and started today?

Oh, this little thought monster stops most everyone before they even start. We get into thinking like this. Once I lose my love handles things will be great. Once I’ve paid all my bills, I’ll be happy. Once I get that promotion, I’ll have more time. Once I buy that new car, I’ll really be happy. The list goes on and on.

The truth is this; take pleasure in your journey. Once you “arrive” at where you want to be, there’ll be more goals, other things to do, and other problems to face. Be happy now, and enjoy your journey to wellness.
