More often than we might care to admit our reason for not doing something boils down to the fact we can’t be bothered.
We might tell ourselves and others that we’re “too busy”.
Or any other number of justifications.
But, actually, we just can’t be @rsed.
And that’s OK.
We all feel that way about various different things to different degrees at different times.
Just because someone might exercise regularly and be in great shape, doesn’t mean they’ve not got other things that they in theory would like to do, but just can’t be bothered.
The problem with CBA though is that it’s a bit imprecise.
What can’t we be @rsed to do?
Replies like “exercise”, “lose weight” or “all of it” are too vague.
There’s a lot of ground covered there.
If we get a bit more precision, then maybe we can decide what we are willing to do.
Can’t be @rsed to do five two-hour workouts a week?
Could you be @rsed to do three 45 minute ones?
Can’t be @rsed to cut out all snacks, socialising and alcohol?
Could you be @rsed to create an average 500 calorie a day deficit from things you’re happy to have?
Can’t be @rsed to do what needs to be done to lose a stone in a month?
Could you be @rsed to do what needs to be done to lose a pound or two a week and get to this time next year in a very different position?
We all have limits of what we’re willing to do.
But we all have versions that we are OK with.
Let’s forget the first and concentrate on the second?
Much love,

P.S. It’s much easier to do something when it’s designed to be more enjoyable, it’s done with like minded people and is somewhere we’re happy going to —> www.myrise.co.uk/apply
