It’s cooler this month where I am. This means the resistance kicks in very strong as I head down to the pool for a swim. I typically touch the water as I head to the shower and the reaction is always – “Ooh. Too cold. Quit now!”
My strategy? Jump in in the deep end. I know there will be that momentary shock as my body gets into the cool water but, since it’s the deep end, I have no choice but to just start swimming. And, of course, I’m always thankful for having done that.
No wonder Xiang Yu ordered his men to “Break the kettles and sink the boats.”
So, if you’re having trouble with your new year resolutions this week, just find your equivalent of the deep end.
