Whenever I hear the title of this article I think of that movie with Selma Hayak and Matthew Perry in Las Vegas. I think Fools Fall In Love is the title? Her thick accent telling Matthew Perry's character about all his excuses of why he can't get close to her emotionally. When I start to say or think why I can't accomplish something I say those words to myself to stop my thinking in its tracks. :)

Tis the season of worry, stress and putting off things but also making resolutions to change those habits. Kick it into high gear! Start today on the goals you think you will get to tomorrow. Why wait? I'll tell ya why, excuses, excuses, excuses. Ha-ha! Procrastination, yep I am talkin to you.

We all fall victim to that word in some area of our lives. go ahead and get that long to-do list out you might have made a couple of months ago and start chipping away at it. Better yet, start a new one, a new one for the new year, productive stuff, not re-caulk the bathroom showers. I'm talkin about to make you feel better. Set new goals in your career, take a new class that might interest you, heck change your hair style or color. Here is a big one that gives huge benefits in more than one area, ready for it? EXERCISE!! Yep, I said that dirty, little, powerful word!!

No more excuses, excuses, excuses to kick your booty into high gear! As my daughter has put it in so many fancy words. "Well mom, if the ancient people didn't run out of rock to write on (my theory to subside the panic when her & her friends were freaked out about that calendar and the end of the world in 2012) we might as well finish what we can on our list and go out with a bang mom! Just think if we finish that list we can make a new one". Love her thinking.

Get to bustin your excuses right now. See how many accomplishments you can do this year, this month, today!! See what you are made of. Might suprise yourself or someone else.

Author's Bio: 

“For many years I judged and compared myself to others and always came up lacking. I use to listen to the inner critic tell me I wasn’t smart enough or worthy and would never be successful. I realized I had a choice to make. I could continue to live in the pain of self-abuse or I could start taking those steps to taking responsibility and heal the emotional wounds I had held onto for so long. This choice was so important because I had children counting on me. I knew I needed to change to show them that the world is a safe place and life can be enjoyed.”
