Excuses, excuses.....I hear them a lot. I'm growing kinda weary of them. It's like there is an overpopulation problem with excuses. Let's commit to not making any more excuses about the reasons we don't exercise regularly or don't eat well or don't get enough sleep or don't manage our stress better. Instead, let's acknowledge the choices we make each day and learn to accept and commit to practice the change we want to see.

Easily said, huh? Much harder to do, I know. Here's the thing. What's the alternative? Stay stuck in the excuse trap or find the courage to accept factors, circumstances or whatever you can't change. Once that's done, focus on what you can change. Example? As far as I know, no one has yet to stop the aging process. Can't hide from aging. We all do it. Funny though how much energy we put towards slowing it or even trying to reverse it. And, it's those types of "we are desperate to change" areas in our lives that make us vulnerable to snake-oil peddlers (as I like to refer to them as). You  know, dieting programs, books, pills, promises. Anti-wrinkle creams. Supplements promising better performance on the bike or in bed for that  matter. Ugh. So sad.

So, what can you change in your life each and every day? Pick something - and preferably only 1 thing (it's easier to focus on 1 thing). Is it making sure you get to the grocery store so you have the healthy options to make a healthy dinner to bring a healthy lunch to work? Is it blocking out time to exercise? Is it getting to bed at a reasonable hour to ensure enough sleep? Is it taking at least 5 minutes to close your eyes and breath?

When you break it down, it doesn't seem all that impossible does it?

So, come on....stop making excuses and start making progress ...... every day.
