We have two options for how we spend the rest of 2024:
- Path A: Coast and say “I’ll start backing up in January.”
- Path B: Treat it as a Beta Test for 2025.
Our brain will try and convince us to choose Path A.
I want you to choose Path B.
Here’s how Beta Testing works:
We will experiment with our lives and find out what we want to do in 2025.
We’re not looking to stick to the perfect workout, or trying to build a flawless streak every day. We are not trying to be 100% compliant with the optimized diet.
- Want to be “someone who goes to Pilates or Yoga” But are you worried about the ongoing commitment? Well done! Sign up for ONE class this week or next week. Try it! You don’t promise a lifetime. You’re trying it to see if you want to do it in 2025.
- Want to be a really strong person, because you want toned arms or you know strengthening is important? You don’t need the perfect workout plan to follow. You have to have courage Thego to the gym and pick up a weightThe.
- Do you want to be someone who has a better relationship with food? You don’t need to plan the next 40 days of eating. You don’t have to perfectly plan every part of your diet every day. You need to know which one Thehealthy foodThe you don’t hate preparation.
The fun part about beta testing is that you can stop doing things without feeling bad.
You are an engineer, thinking of a project to see if it fits your lifestyle and schedule. You engage in different disciplines, Thesampling different foods from the buffet lineTheto see what works for you.
Your goal is to experiment and find an exercise strategy and diet plan that works for you that you can implement more regularly by the end of the year. This way, instead of starting at a dead stop on January 1st, you can start with momentum and knowledge about what really works for you.
Sign up for a class you want to try.
Give yourself permission to try and fail at a different diet.
Experiment with a different approach to productivity.
Let go of the strategies you keep trying and failing to implement. They don’t work for you.
Try new things.
After all, 2024 is just a beta test for 2025.
What will you try and try this fall?
