​BE A MOVER

When 2025 gave way to 2026 I wished you consistency. Why? Because without it you will stay where you are. Because life rewards action, not intention or excuses or overthinking. People don’t fail because they did the wrong thing – mistakes are there to be learnt from. People fail because they just don´t move. Or they start but don’t continue when the novelty gives way to slog. 

Every tiny step helps to create momentum and momentum becomes progress  or learning in motion – that’s why they call it Practice and not Perfect. Progress is measurable so you can track where you are now compared to where you were. 

I had a friend who decided to start running about 10 years ago in her 50s. She started by running once around her house. The next day she did it again, and the following day she did it again. And once it became easy she added another lap. Then another. Tiny goals. Measurable and self-affirming. She just did it. No fanfare, no major announcement. It was her small gift of accomplishment to herself. I moved away a year or two later, and now whenever I see her on social media she is still doing it. She is always on some adventure – road running and trail running at any and every altitude in the sun and in the snow – always with the biggest smile on her 60-something-year-old face. 

Start small – start with one small change in your routine – and commit to it without exception because it will turn you from a dreamer into a doer. Doers make dreams come true. 

Just Do It. 

Nike created a multi-billion dollar business out of this slogan so why would it not work for you? I know it works because I used it when I couldn’t get going a few years ago. What I learned is this: Just Do It ONCE. That’s all you need to create movement and to dispel the fear. You create momentum by doing it twice and you create a direction from doing it 3 times. You also create confidence and a can-do attitude because success breeds success and moving actually feels nice. Embrace the vigour! 

So off you go, just do it once.
