Breaking The Cycle Of One Day
The cycle of "One Day" is the reason I am not at my goal weight, not at the skill level, not at my fill-in-the-blank.
One day I will go to the gym, one day I will get my degree, one day I will change to that career track.
So start today, you might fail, give yourself grace, and get started that day again!
How do we break it?

Step One - Gaining Some Perspective
I find that so much about understanding life is about knowing where you stand inside of it. Gaining a perspective will elevate you to a better place.
The biggest perspective change I had was with death 💀.
Let's think about time as money 💰
The reality is, we are withdrawing from our bank account on day 1. Every single day we are just given an allowance. As the bank account gets smaller.
When I finally realized this / accepted it. I gained a lot of perspective. I do not want to get to the end of my life to find out that I spent it on all of the wrong things.

Step Two - Make the Decision BEFORE the moment
So often we make decisions in the MOMENT rather than making decisions ahead of time. I find that we make BETTER decisions ahead of time because we are not going to "cave" or "change our minds".

Step Four - Replace Distractions
Substituting our distractions with other things that improve our life I have found to aid me in motivating me to change what I spend my time on.
The biggest change I made by far was switching all of my social media to LinkedIn. I find that there is a community of people building, inspiring, growing, and supporting others. Joining that during my "downtime" really helped me to start pushing myself.

Final Thought - Get a Community
People make all of the difference in our life. From what we do or do not do. To what we believe we can or can not accomplish.
Find a community of people that inspire you, challenge you, elevate you. Then make sure you be that to someone else one day 😊

The "One Day" cycle is a dangerous lie that we tell ourselves. It's a lie that we can wake up from 10 years later and realize we never really did anything that we really wanted to.
