Action Creates Motivation

Welcome to 2020! We're not going to argue whether it's technically a new decade or not, but it is a new year and so it's time to replace photos of festive cheer with glum, sweaty gym selfies.

What you will notice at this time of year is every person and their dog's view on new year's resolutions.

"You shouldn't need a new year to change your life," one will say.

"New year, new you!" another meme will proclaim, while everyone grabs their shotgun in response.

"Goals are overrated. You should focus on the process," is what we will say, because hitting a goal may get you one win, but if you concentrate on the process, you'll win again and again.

Regardless of which take you believe in, there's something about the energy that this time of year brings and you should jump all over it like gravy on biscuits.

A friend might take on a new challenge. You might try to work out what a Peloton is. Who knows, even your partner might decide to pull up their zipper and belt up their pants - big things are about to happen!

It doesn't matter, just pick something and go do it. Action creates motivation, not the other way around, and if everyone else is doing it too, that's just a handy-dandy bonus.
