Don't Throw in the Toul

Did you click on this post just to figure out what in great Uncle Teddy's sake I meant by "toul?"

Cool. I don't use clickbait a lot, but cheers if you're here.

By toul, I mean towel. But occasionally my Pittsburgh accent comes out and according to Sheila, I don't pronounce the "w" in towel. So what I say rhymes with foul.

Seriously though. This is the time of year when overwhelm starts to set in and people decide they're going to just bag whatever fitness or healthy routine they've been working on and restart again in the new year.

But hear me out: even if the new year is less busy with social and holiday obligations, it may very well be busy for other reasons.

There is never a good time to do this work. Never.

Sometimes you have more space in your life than others for sure. But it's December 10th. There are 21 days left in this month. There is time to put some attention toward whatever behavior change you're working on.

Attention energizes.

You can continue putting some attention on the behaviors you want to adopt. Maybe not all of your attention. But some.

This is the best time to challenge the all or nothing mindset. Right now.

What are you going to pay attention to in order to finish the year strong?

Get it.
