GUARANTEE you will not wish you spent more time watching TV

It is the trouble that never comes that causes the loss of sleep.

Chas. Austin Bates

Today’s action exercise is to first identify something extraordinary you want to do. Maybe something you have been wanting to do, thinking about doing, even investigating, but have not taken the leap to do. Today write that one thing down and take one step in the direction of making that a reality. Then set a deadline as to when this extraordinary adventure will take place. For one person, talking to a stranger may be an adventure, for another it’s canoeing across Lake Grapevine, for another getting back on a horse, for another dusting off the online skates to coast through your neighborhood. I want you to throw all cares (fears) to the wind. Who cares what the neighbors think. I’m not suggesting you bungee jump if that makes you too uncomfortable, however I want you to get out of your comfort zone to realize what’s possible and what you can accomplish. You won’t know until you try. I guarantee –yes GUARANTEE you will not wish you spent more time watching TV. You will remember the experience and then dream to do something bigger. We only go around one time. You can never get this minute back. So . . identify your adventure (not going to the spa), something fun, something that will cause you to muster up come courage, something that will make you feel proud. Maybe sign up for your first 5K and see what it feels like to have race number on your back (I know several of you have done that for the first time this past year). You can go to www.active.com and see if anything excites you! Stretch your limits today. Take the step to make your life worth living in a big fun way. Oh – and feel free to share what with me. I would LOVE to hear it! You can also post it on the blog at www.ArgyleBootCamp.com. It’s freeing!!!
