You look at where you want to be and where you are, and the gap feels huge. That feeling of being behind can freeze you. Here is a way to move anyway.
Write the goal in one line
Make it clear and specific. “Run a 5K,” not “get fit.” A clear target is easier to aim at.
Find the next ten minutes
Ask, what can I do in ten minutes that moves me closer? Do that. Do not plan the whole mountain.
Track the streak, not the gap
Mark each day you take a step. After two weeks you will see a trail behind you, and that trail beats worrying about the distance ahead.
You are not late. You are starting, and starting is the hardest part.
