NOT TOMORROW
You're going to start next week, huh!?
You've already FAILED!
You might end up starting, you might end up calling a friend to start with you, or you might end up buying some supplements to help you get shit going— or a 🎀CuuuuuuTe 🎀 outfit to go to the gym.
You'll post some reels while you're on the treadmill, you'll post whatever the fuck you're eating— you'll make a whole show about it.
But a couple of weeks, a couple of months after— somehow, you'll still vanish from your friend's feeds— you had a birthday on Friday, then its the weekend, then work got on the way, then you got sick, then you simply forgot— then you start next week again.
No, not next week, right!? The one next to this next week.
Your PREMISE was set from the get-go.
You weren't serious about what you were going to do, you STARTED by skipping.
Every single fucking day that you've put between starting to take care of yourself and the day you actually start is a day in which you've SKIPPED YOUR WORKOUT.
A premise, a set of conditions, your very own personal algorithm.
An algorithm that is SET TO FAIL— 99% of New Year’s resolutions fail by the 6-month mark, probably a result of attacking the issue from the from frame of reference in the first place.
Do you know what's a way better modus operandi?
JUST GO WORKOUT— go to a track or a park, runs a couple of laps, and do some pushups, pullups, and squats.
Don't think too much about how or why, JUST GO.
Do whatever to break a sweat, get a little out of breath, do whatever makes your mind think "fuck, this is hard".
Do you know why this is better? 'cause it eliminates friction.
You can skip a workout, be my guest, I skip more workouts than I'm proud of— but my premise is simple, when I identify the opportunity to workout there's no I'll do it next Friday, it's just "LET'S GO!".
I get up and go— and yeah, it's inconsistent at times— but it's consistently efficient in seizing the opportunity whenever it presents itself.
That's the mentality you should approach getting started— stop planning.
Stop thinking about what you're going to do tomorrow.
NO, not tomorrow, START TODAY!
BANG THAT IRON, MY BRUDDAH!
Big KISS
