Break Free From the One Day Mentality Trap

Good Morning Dear 💜

We all live with the ‘one day’ mentality.

One day when I lose weight… one day when I have time…one day when I work for myself… one day when I have enough money…one day when I retire…

Just fill in your own blanks…One day when … or One day I’ll…I even created my own template for this phenomenon a few years ago just to see how many of these unfulfilled wishes, desires and wants were on the list. You will be surprised to find that it can be the silliest things too, it’s not always about the big goals and dreams, it could be as simple as depriving oneself of small everyday things.

The point is that the ‘one day’ mentality is a trap, set by our ego into, fooling you that you have an unlimited amount of time to do and get what you want on this planet. I hope, by now, you have come to realise you will probably not be an Olympic athlete, Picasso, Brazilian underwear model or next reality series winner (this one is still attainable I’m sure😊)

Here’s the deal, if you want to do something, or have a dream to accomplish something — just start doing it, with what you have and where you are. Some of these take time granted, but believe it or not we will still be sitting here a year from today wishing we had just started in this moment.

Yes, one day when you lose weight you will probably find another reason why you can’t wear that outfit, one day when you retire you will be to tired to take up that hobby, one day when you work for yourself you will have NO time to do anything else! (trust me on this one)

So just take one of your one days, examine it, see if it is even viable or does it also have a shelf life. Is there any way you can do something small to give you a taste of it, create the feeling that you think will accompany accomplishing it?

Sometimes our environments and circumstances really do challenge us and do need to be taken into consideration.

But if you can’t make it happen today or join that dance class you’ve been wanting to join — there’s nothing like turning up the volume in your own lounge and boogying like there’s only TODAY.💫
