Task Initiation

For over four years now, I have researched and written about the importance of functional fitness. I have published a book, started others, composed a song, presented at conferences, and taught children and adults whenever possible. If you know me you may have been subjected to one of my enthusiastic rants on the topic. I am very passionate about it. I have seen so much trauma and believe strongly that improving and practicing functional fitness is vital for mental health.

The task ahead is to start contacting businesses to promote and offer SHIP building services. For some reason it is very frightening, and something that could honestly have begun years ago but the fear has kept me frozen in place.

Task initiation is a very important function. All the great ideas in the world are useless if they are kept locked in your own mind. Time is not unlimited. Resources are not endless. People do not say they wish they had waited to act on their passion.

So the time is now to DO IT! My goal is to make 5 contacts every week day. Tomorrow I will report on first day progress. Hoping that writing it down and announcing provide extra incentive.
