THE MAGIC OF MONDAYS
THE BEST DAY OF THE WEEK TO GET THINGS DONE IS…
So you’re thinking of starting a fitness program and getting that body of your dreams?
Then, listen up.
This is serious stuff.
There is only ONE day in the week where you can start an exercise program.
One specific, enchanted day.
The other days won’t work.
This one day holds the power and the magic to solve the mystery of getting lean, sexy and becoming totally shagadelic.
It’s the fabled pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Monday!!
No other day cannot compare with the Magic of Mondays.
In fact, it’s highly recommended (some would say imperative) never to start on any day other than a Monday.
If it ain’t Monday, it’s no day.
OR IS IT?
Well…at least, that’s what I hear a lot of people say.
The ones who seem perennially on the verge of starting a program (next Monday).
The ones who want to do a U-turn and swear they will change their lives (next Monday).
The ones who absolutely, positively have had enough and are going to make a difference (next Monday).
The ones who can’t take it anymore and are going to start a diet (yes, next Monday).
But that’s where it gets a little confusing.
You see, these people seem very determined and very decided.
When you talk to them, you know they are champing at the bit and raring to go.
Monday can’t come fast enough.
But, I’m not sure how these people’s calendars work because this damn Monday never seems to roll around.
Every time I run into them, they are a little heavier, a little more out of breath, and a little more stressed out than last time we met.
Even if I meet them 6 months or a year down the line.
Where is this damn Monday at?
But I gotta give it to these guys – their resolve is unshakeable.
Because, come hell or high water, they will give you the same spiel when you ask them about it.
YES, they are still going to start – next Monday.
And you better believe it.
PUT A STOP TO SWEET SEDUCTION
Let’s get a little perspective shall we?
(Also known as tell the truth and shame the devil, baby.)
The truth is – all this Monday crap is just another excuse.
Most people just don’t want to put the work in.
Because anything that requires you to get from where you are to a better place is going to take some serious work.
Make no mistake about it.
So people will lie to themselves to bury the obvious (kinda like trying to hide that broken vase under the sitting room carpet).
They will lie and lie…till they lie so much, they will actually believe it.
Do NOT be seduced by the dulcet tones of waiting for tomorrow.
Procrastination is a killer.
Whichever form it comes in.
Even if it comes dressed as resolve.
DON’T WAIT FOR MONDAY
Forget this Monday bullshit.
If you’re going to do something – anything – do it TODAY.
Tomorrow is too late.
Right now is where it’s at.
You see, the truth is most people have badly placed priorities.
There are just too many glittery things in their life that are taking up their attention.
What most consider important is not what it has been stoked up to be.
Money, wealth, possessions and even fame are not the bee’s knees.
Seriously, what is more important than family and health?
Absolutely nothing.
And how can you take care of your family if you are not healthy?
There is no way.
Is your health really something you can negotiate with?
I have been in the health and fitness industry for ever 20 years and I can categorically tell you one thing for sure – YOU CAN’T.
I have seen it happen thousands of times.
If you don’t make time for yourself, you WON’T get more time.
If you don’t take care of yourself, you WILL get sick.
If you don’t re-arrange your priorities, they WILL re-arrange themselves for you.
You know the saddest words in English right?
They are “if only”.
I hear those words spoken by people who thought they had the luxury of time on a daily basis.
If I never hear that phrase again, it won’t be a day too soon.
“If only I’d listened…”
“If only I had done that earlier…”
“If only I had the guts before…”
Screw that!
Don’t be THAT person.
Don’t wait for Monday.
Make that change happen TODAY.
Seriously – what has been on your mind for ages that you have relegated to that fabled Monday?
Grow a pair (you can choose between balls or boobies). Pinpoint the issue. Write it down.
And do it TODAY.
Monday is but a ray of moonshine.
Even tomorrow will be too late.
TODAY! TODAY! TODAY!!
Let’s see if you have what it takes.
Now get your ass off that chair and get rocking.
