As Paula and I were discussing something we should do the other day, I said, “Yes, but not now.” That wasn’t meaningful in the moment, but a little while later, Paula commented that she knew she should cut back on sugar, but not now.

Bam. How many times have you said that? Not something you know you will do later but something related to your health: beginning to exercise, beginning to track your foods, beginning to organize your supplements to ensure you take them on a regular basis, and so on. Pick any lifestyle change you want to make; have you ever said, “but not now”? Look, there’s always something in our lives that makes it challenging to change our lifestyle–I’ll begin after my birthday, or after vacation, or some other event that makes it inconvenient to begin right now.

You know you should do it. You fully intend to do it. There’s no reason you can’t, and still, you tell yourself “but not now.” Procrastination at its finest!

There will always be something that we feel we should finish first. Once you actually begin, that will shift to something that interferes with your plan every day.

If you can’t deal with beginning now, what makes you think it will be any easier later? Maybe getting the right mindset could help. I’ll give you an idea about that on Saturday.

The comments I’ve gotten on the video update to Protecting Your Brain have been great. When there’s something that can benefit your brain, I’ll send out another update to everyone who has purchased the webinar. Have you?

What are you prepared to do today?
