What does "later" mean?
Sometimes it means the same day. Sometimes it means next week. Sometimes, we look up and "later" has become years.
2 things to always make sure to ask yourself if you're going to put something off until later.
1. Why can't you do it now? Sometimes, things are unavoidable and we have to move our exercise to accomodate that. However, catching the latest episode of your favorite show is not one of those. Neither is "not feeling like it". Odds are, if you don't want to exercise when you have the time, you'll rarely find a time that you do want to. Sometimes it can be incredibly difficult, but just getting out of the chair and getting the work done is a huge accomplishment. You don't have to do your hardest workout ever or set a new personal record, but as the common saying goes, "showing up is half the battle". Take the time to get the workout in, and you'll be proud of yourself, your mood will improve, you'll physically feel great, and it will lead to more commitment and success in the long run.
2. When will you do it? When pushing something off, "later" should not be your final answer. The problem with that is there is no due date. This leaves you room for procrastination, more excuses, and inevitably will end in the work not being done. Instead, hold yourself accountable. "I can't exercise now, but I will do it at 5:30 tomorrow afternoon instead." Set a reminder, make a promise to yourself, and you will find you stick to your commitments far more often.
