There’s two months left of 2023 and you’re still telling yourself the same excuses as to why you can’t commit to your fitness goals. On his Instagram online coach Seth Wickstrom wants you to reflect on the excuses that have held you back from achieving your goals in the past.
How many times have you blamed the same external circumstances from preventing you to truly committing to a healthier lifestyle?
The claim that you’re just too busy…
Yet consider this: time is not found; it’s made. The minutes spent on social media or in front of the TV can be repurposed for a workout, bringing us closer to our aspirations.
Lack of motivation often hinders progress. Instead of waiting for inspiration to strike, recognize that motivation is a product of action. Start with small, consistent steps, and watch how things unfold.
Fatigue and exhaustion are real, but so are the effects of exercise. Physical activity energizes the body and mind, creating a positive cycle that counters the fatigue we claim as an excuse.
Financial constraints shouldn’t even be a barrier. Outdoor activities, bodyweight exercises, and home workouts are inexpensive alternatives. Reevaluate your spending priorities, investing in your health just like you do with other aspects of your life.
Unrealistic expectations often lead to disappointment causing you to throw in the towel. Instead, embrace progress, no matter how incremental, and celebrate the journey. Remember, fitness is a marathon, not a sprint.
The fear of judgment can be paralyzing, but the gym is a space for personal growth, not a stage for scrutiny. Shift the focus inward, take pride in your progress, and let self-improvement be your motivation.
Health issues are legitimate concerns, yet many conditions improve with tailored exercise.
As the clock ticks down on 2023, let this be a reality check for you and let these final months be an opportunity to step into your true potential to truly develop resilience and commitment.
Quit with the excuses, embrace the journey, and step into the new year as a healthier, more empowered version of yourself.
The time for change is now.
