Every Day is a New Start

Life is full of distractions

One of the hardest things on a weight lost journey is to always be consistent. We may have a good week or even a good month where everything is fine. We are eating right and exercising, but then life gets in the way.

It may be work gets busy, a holiday comes along or a family issue and our schedule is thrown off and all our efforts to get in shape ends up being put aside.

Especially now when the whole world it seems has been turned upside down with the Coronavirus. So many of our lives have been completely upset.

Even in these trying times we need to take heart and not give up on something as important as our health.

Remember, every day is a new start. Maybe things have gotten out of hand and you haven’t been eating right lately. Don’t worry it isn’t the end of your journey. You can still get into the shape you want and need to be.

You need to have the mindset that says, okay I blew it today but tomorrow I will get back on track. Every morning tell yourself, this is a new start, I will eventually reach my goal, but today I will focus only on today.

A winning example

I live outside Washington DC. Last year I enjoyed following the Washington Nationals as they finally won the World Series for the first time in their franchise history.

How they got there is a lesson for us all. They did not start their season very well. At one point their record was 19 wins and 31 loses. People on sports talk radio were calling for the manager to be fired.

The manager, Davy Martinez, never lost hope in his team. What he told his team was don’t dwell on the past. Don’t think about how far behind we are. Instead, let’s go out today and go 1-0 today. Just concentrate on winning today.

Their motto became “Stay in the fight” and they strung a lot of those 1-0 days together. They got into the playoffs and even then faced elimination several times. They would fall behind in games only to come back in the late innings because they had the confidence they could win. They stayed in the fight until they finished the fight and became World Champions.

You’ve got this!

That is the attitude of a winner and that is the attitude that every person who successfully wants to lose weight and live a healthy life must have.

Don’t think about how you have failed in the past. Don’t worry about how far you have to go. Live your journey one day at a time and eventually you will see victory.

Wake up each morning and say to yourself, ‘today is a new day and a new start’. If you do that enough times you will start to see success in your goals.

Stay in the fight my friends.

As always if this encouraged you or if you have any questions leave me a message. I would love to hear from you.
