The Daily Man-Up

November 8, 2023

With LESS than 2 month to welcome 2024, there are two scenarios on how you can get ready for the new year:

Scenario 1: you wait until January 1st to start thinking about what you want to achieve in the next 365 days. You try to figure out your training and nutrition plans, the habits and routines you need to implement to be successful. You try to figure all out in just one day. You tell yourself “I’m starting on January 1st!”. In the meantime you have the perfect excuse to let yourself go.

Scenario 2: TODAY you start thinking and planning for 2024. You start asking yourself what will drive you in 2024, and why? You start working on a plan that will help you achieve your goal. You start implementing the right habits, you start eliminating the wrong ones. You don’t wait. You start.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about the holidays and enjoying the extra treats and beers with friends and family. All I’m saying is: ?Why wait until January 1st to start thinking about how you are going to keep building your own best version? Get ready today. Prepare yourself today . Don’t wait a month until you start figuring these things out.

Get Clear on what you are doing in 2024. Start working on your routine, your self-discipline, your goals..so when January 1st hits…you are ready to start, you don’t get hit with any surprises, you are a well-oiled machine.

Don’t wait until January 1st to wake up. Start TODAY

There are times in life where everyone feels tired and weighed down. Every day we work for our goals and dreams, but it feels like we’re running in quicksand. Of course, we knew the journey would be long and treacherous. But we never expected it to be this long or this treacherous.

You think to yourself, “maybe I need more gusto, a little more oomph.” But what if you need to lighten the load? Sometimes, the key to achieving your dreams is releasing the baggage you carry. You don’t need to pick up more stones. Focus on the essentials and let go of the rest.

Many of these things you can give up today, while others will require work. But remember, “if you can dream it, you can do it.”

Stop waiting. Start doing. It’s all too easy to tell ourselves that once we lose twenty pounds, we’ll be happy, or once we have more free time, we’ll start reading more, or once we’re on that new project at work and have shorter hours, we’ll start going back to the gym. We think we’re too busy now to do that thing we want to do, or we’ll be happy once we’ve done that thing, but we haven’t even started working on it.

The cost of doing the right thing gets too much attention. The cost of doing nothing gets too little. Eating broccoli to lose weight sounds like a sacrifice until you compare it to hating your body every single day. Writing and rewriting a rough draft sounds hard until compared to realizing you didn’t write a single page of your novel last year. Yes hard work is hard. But regret is so much harder.
