If you’ve ever said, “I’ll start after vacation,” or “Once the holidays are over, I’ll get back on track,” you’re not alone. We hear it all the time, and honestly, we’ve all said it ourselves at some point.
It sounds logical, right? Wait for things to calm down before adding something new. But here’s the truth: life isn’t going to slow down for you.
There’s always something on the horizon, another busy season at work, the kids’ sports schedule, social events, travel, or unexpected life stress. And if you keep waiting for the “right time,” you’ll find yourself saying the same thing next month… and the month after that.
Life Doesn’t Give You a Break; You Have to Create One
The truth is, health doesn’t happen when life is easy. It happens when you decide to make it a priority despite the chaos. It’s about doing the best you can with what you’ve got, right where you are.
Maybe that means showing up for three workouts this week instead of five.
Maybe it’s prepping a few meals ahead instead of eating out every day.
Maybe it’s drinking your water and getting to bed 30 minutes earlier.
It doesn’t have to be perfect, you just have to start.
Progress Beats Perfection
When you start now, even if it’s messy, you build momentum. You learn how to navigate challenges instead of avoiding them. And the best part? When the next “busy season” hits (because it will), you’ll already have habits in place that keep you grounded.
At CrossFit Influence, we’ve seen it time and time again: the people who stop waiting and just start, no matter what’s going on in life, are the ones who see real, lasting change.
So if you’re waiting for the right time… this is it. Start now. Because your health can’t wait for life to calm down, and neither should you.
