Are You Asleep At The Wheel?

We are four weeks away from the finish line. Have you fallen asleep at the wheel?


This is the point in the cycle when folks tend to get antsy to reach the end. If your program has been going well, you may become a bit bored, with the initial excitement of achievement fizzling out.


If your program has been challenging, you probably just want to be done with it.


Either way, how can you inject fresh fuel into your tank to finish strong? We encourage you to look at your legs with new eyes. Is there a little twist you can add to them to make them feel new? Remember, you’re not locked into anything beyond your initial commitments at this point, so have fun with it!


If one of your legs has to do with going to bed at a certain time, why not try to read one chapter a night of a book you’ve been meaning to get to? If you’ve been practicing healthier eating habits, try one new recipe a week.


It certainly couldn’t hurt and you just may find yourself feeling reinvigorated about your program!
