Excuses! We all have them, and I think we all have some sort of love-hate relationship with them. On one hand, excuses suck. They keep us from getting things done! They make us feel yucky about ourselves. If only they weren't there, we'd be perfect! But on the other, we use them because they work for us. They let us stay in our comfort zone, they let us justify continuing on with the status quo.
You can't get things done until you overcome the excuses, and of course to do that you have to identify them, and make a plan.
Today's exercise: Identify at least one of your most common excuses, and make a plan to work past it or around it. Do as many as you want. If you don't have a plan, that's okay -- we're here to help! This is all about being positive and action-focused, so also feel free to talk about excuses you've overcome in the past and how you did it.
Also, it's always good to write about your daily accomplishments, so if you want to tack that on then feel free!
