“Words may inspire but only action creates change.”-Simon Sinek

Thought of the day

Now that things are getting busy and that you are back in the routine it can be easy to be busy and not in action on the things that matter. Coming back from Vegas and being back in the routine I have felt like I am missing a step. There has been a lot more forcing into action instead of pure motivation. At these times when action feels a little tougher to get into is a great opportunity for your growth. When you set out on a journey it is very easy to say what you want to do but how will you stay in action on those down days along the way?

Many people wait and wait and wait to get things done. Today’s challenge is to set up a schedule for the important things that need to get done and get in action immediately. This could be getting your workout done, dealing with family, or work commitments. Whatever has you stuck or slowing down right now is what you need to plan for. At empower we are here to help keep you on track. You may not know the path but we are here to help guide you on your fitness journey and make sure that piece is always off your plate. This way you can be in action on some of the other things you need to get done. For me training is something that helps get my mind right so I am able to take on some of the less desired tasks that need to get done.  

It is not only when motivation strikes but even when the lack of motivation is holding you back, that action is your friend.  This week how will you get in action on something you have been procrastinating on? It may involve creating a schedule, finding someone to be accountable to. But regardless of what it takes action is your friend and you are capable to get these things done with or without motivation.
