There is no such thing as New Year's Eve

Change your habits today. Why wait till 1 January?

Of course there is an actual end of the year and start to a new one that we traditionally call New Year’s Eve. But it doesn’t exist. Not really. Today is the same kind of day as yesterday was and is also the same kind of day that tomorrow will be.

This is an uncomfortable fact that I hold true.

I know a lot of people who wait for 1 January to quit smoking or start exercising or start that business or leave that partner. I know a lot of people who never actually start or barely make it a few weeks after 1 January.

If you want to change something, start today. Why wait another 4 months? Why wait for a new year?

I’ll tell you why; you’re afraid. You are afraid of the hard work it takes to make a real change. You are afraid that it actually might work and then you have realised your potential, which changes everything. But you are mostly afraid of failure so delaying change to a new year pushes the fear just far enough away that you don’t have to think about it. It’s pushed far enough away that the people you told will probably forget you were going to do that thing on 1 January and don’t hold you accountable.

I say start today.

If you are serious about losing that extra weight, gaining that extra bit of income or changing careers then today is the day. Not tomorrow. Not in 90 days. Today.
