I used to love playing the guitar and banjo 🎶. It wasn’t just something I did—it was part of me. But somewhere along the way, life got busy, and playing music became one of those things I wanted to do, but didn’t.

Sound familiar? 🤔

This morning, walking into Walgreens 🏪, it hit me: I’m no different from the people who want to work out but never do. They tell themselves they’ll start next week 📅. That they need to find the right program 📖. That they’ll do it when things slow down ⏳. Meanwhile, the weeks slip by, and they’re stuck in the same place—just like me with my guitar.

The Problem: Not Making Time ⏰

I can say I want to get better at music all day long, but if I’m not making time for it, it’s just a wish, not a plan. The same goes for fitness 🏋🏾‍♀️🏋🏽‍♂️🏋🏼.

The truth? If something really matters to you, you have to put it on the calendar. Not just think about it, but schedule it—just like an appointment you wouldn’t cancel ✍🏾.

Clarifying My Why 🎯

I started playing because I loved it ❤️. And I know that if I never pick it up again, I’ll regret it. I don’t want to be the person who used to play music.

For people struggling to work out, the “why” matters too. Maybe it’s about feeling strong 💪🏽, keeping up with your kids 🏃🏾‍♀️, or proving to yourself that midlife doesn’t mean decline. Without a clear why, it’s too easy to let it slide.

What to Do About It ✅

Once I realized I was stuck, I did the same thing I tell my clients to do:

• Find the time ⏳. I identified two blocks of time in my week where I can practice—just 15 minutes each.
• Make it easy 🎸. I set my guitar and banjo in plain sight instead of storing them away. Environment matters.
• Have a plan 📑. Instead of just noodling around, I wrote down what I’ll practice. Progress needs direction.
• Celebrate the wins 🎉. Even five minutes of playing is better than nothing. Small victories add up.

What About You? 🤷🏽‍♀️

If you’re someone who wants to work out but doesn’t, ask yourself:

• What’s my why? 🎯
• When can I fit it in? ⏰
• How can I make it easier? 🏋🏾‍♂️
• What’s my plan? 📅

You don’t have to be perfect. You have to start. 🚀
