How many times have you made a promise to yourself and were super excited to get started? We get all the essentials we need to get started. We prepare ourselves for the new found inspiration and get ready to give it a go! We take ONE true shot and it doesn’t go as planned. We lose all faith in the plan and decide its no longer important to us. Until the the urge hits again. Then we are back to square one. Starting all over again. From the basics.
