It’s Time to Stop Making Excuses

honestly, dude, come on!!!! it's like your comment is just making excuses too!!!!!! we can all sign up for gym memberships and let them gather dust; but at some point, you gotta just stop and ask yourself if you're really trying!!!! i used to do the same thing, buying all this fitness gear thinking it was some magic fix but never using it!!!! the truth is, if we keep waiting for the right day or the perfect motivation, we might be waiting forever!!!! maybe we just need to actually get off the couch and do something about it, you know???? 🤷‍♂️ like if you're not gonna make a change, what's the point of even talking about it????

I don't agree with the whole comfort zone thing: it's like blaming that for not moving forward... maybe it's just about deciding to do stuff and sticking to it 🤔

I signed up for the gym and when I actually go, even if just once, it feels worth it sure, it's a struggle but we gotta put in the work if we want change not just wait for motivation to hit can't wait around forever, right?

dude, it's like, you say you get it, but do you really??? 😒 we all say tomorrow like it means something, but tomorrow comes and nothing changes, right??!!! it's a joke how we trap ourselves in this cycle like a hamster, for real... you keep saying progress, but man, casual starts ain't enough!!!! been running my own 'marathon' for ages, and lemme tell you, it's not that simple 😤 just tired of empty promises and little action, you know??? hope your journey's better, but feels like a long shot sometimes!!

absolutely agree with what you said, it's easy to get stuck in that cycle. sometimes we really are our own biggest hurdle; like they say, "you are your own worst enemy." gotta give ourselves a break and remember that every little step counts. I'm in the same boat, running my own marathon trying to figure it all out. starting small is still a start, and that's totally cool. keep hanging in there, wishing you success on your journey too! 😊

absolutely agree with your viewpoint, though, isn't it just a bit idealistic to think that simply trusting the process will lead to progress? life is not always that straightforward, and sometimes, the idea that "Rome wasn't built in a day" feels like an excuse for inaction. frustratingly, despite understanding that small steps are crucial, time and again, it seems like the transformation remains elusive. you speak of potential as if it's easily harnessed, but the reality is, motivation often wanes, leaving us stuck in the same rut. even with patience and positivity, one cannot always expect the path to improvement to be smooth or predictable.

I understand your point, but I gotta say, not everyone can just look at life like a bunch of chances. sometimes it feels like the odds are against you; and yeah, "Rome wasn't built in a day," but man, it sure helps to have a plan. i've tried rolling with the idea of being patient and positive, but it can be hard to stay on track when nothing seems to change. once promised myself I'd write every day, thinking small steps would do it, but still struggling to keep at it. i get where you're coming from about trusting the process, yet sometimes it's tough to believe it all works out just by giving it time.

I get what you're saying but honestly, I totally disagree with you on this one 😅

it's a shared struggle for many 😅 buying the gear and making plans often seems like the hard part, but sticking to them is another story. been there with the treadmill too, thought it would be a game-changer but it just collects dust. consistency is tough with everything else going on. guess we need to find a way to make it work without all the hassle, right? keep hanging in there, maybe there's a way to turn it around soon 🤔.

totally feel you on this it's like that quote "old habits die hard" and it's so true 🤔 it's tough to stay on track with new routines especially when life gets in the way i know because i tried to stick to a yoga schedule but somehow something always comes up and messes with my plans even so i think small wins matter every effort counts keep pushing forward even if progress feels slow 👏

The saying "where there's a will, there's a way" holds true, even if it feels elusive. breaking habits is challenging, no doubt, but perhaps consistency is the key 🌟 in my own experience, making even the smallest changes has led to unexpected success. it's tough, I admit, yet believing it to be a constant struggle might limit what's possible. there's hope if we remain committed to gradual progress, even when setbacks occur.

While I understand your perspective, I must respectfully disagree. The phrase "where there's a will, there's a way" has always resonated with me; even small efforts can yield significant results. 🚀 It's not that tomorrow never comes, but rather that each day brings a new opportunity to try again. Instead of seeing your attempts as fizzling out, consider them as lessons learned towards future success!!! Establishing a routine demands persistence and patience, and progress can indeed be made with the right mindset. Perhaps a shift in outlook might allow you to break free from this cycle and embrace positive change!!!!!

I really understand what you're saying and mostly agree with the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of "tomorrow I'll change" 😔 it's like every time you think you're just about to make a breakthrough... then something gets in the way and it's back to square one!

It's tough, especially when you lose track of how many times you've tried to start fresh... I too have attempted numerous workout routines only to have them fall apart eventually... it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when setbacks seem to come one after another. Hopefully we can both find a way through this even though it feels like an uphill battle most days...

I’m not completely on board with the whole small steps thing. "slow and steady wins the race" sounds nice, but sometimes it feels like no progress at all.

those small steps feel like they don't make a dent sometimes man. breaking things down into parts sounds good but it can be tricky to keep on track yeah. it's not always about mindset when life's just throwing stuff at you that you can't handle. sometimes seems like all that positivity doesn't cut it. hope you get what I mean, it's just tough to make it work like that. 🤔

it's not as easy as just setting small goals and hoping for the best!!!! i've tried that method too many times, and somehow, it feels like the cycle is just too strong to break; remember the saying, "easier said than done"?? that’s exactly how it feels most days 😩 i once set up a whole list of tiny goals, thinking it would create some magical momentum, but honestly, it fizzled out just like every time before!!!!! motivation is super tricky because it comes and goes, and just when you think you've got a handle on it, something derails you!!!!! maybe it works for some people, but for me, the struggle is very real and often overwhelming 🤔
