Goals require action

We are two months into the year. The majority of people are no longer thinking about resolutions or goals that were set for 2023. I know I have been one of them at times. Luckily I have my goals posted around my house so it makes it hard to forget.

Goals are great. And even planning how you are going to achieve your goals is great. But with either of those things work if you only focus on them? Not at all. The reason is that action is the only thing that will change you from where you are right now. You can set your goals and schedule the time in your calendar to complete the tasks, but if you don’t sit down and complete them nothing will happen.

This is where I have been for the past….it feels like FOREVER. And made it’s more of a personal trait/habit at this point. I plan all the time, sit down with my planner on Sundays and schedule the week, I revisit my goals and shop for items that will make achieving the goals easier. But, I am not actually putting on my shoes and getting the work done. I’ve done a workout here and there. But nothing that anyone would consider to be a workout schedule or training plan. I’m not executing. And boy do I have a lot of excuses. I’m tired. I’m sick. I’m sore. I need to be to work early. I haven’t test run getting reading at the gym. I’m running to late to make it in time. All the excuses I can think of.

But is it really that hard? The only thing I really need to do is put on my workout clothes and get on the treadmill. So I’m going to commit to the action today. And only today’s action. Tomorrow I will commit to the action for that day. It’s noon on Sunday February 26th. I am committing to getting on the treadmill today to complete my long workout. Hold me accountable for my action! And let me know if you need to be held accountable for some action as well.
