 Nanook thinks anytime is the perfect time for a nap. The Perfect Time is NowMany of us wait for the “perfect time” with our health, nutrition, and fitness. But this all-or-nothing thinking — as in, “If I don’t do this perfectly then it’s awful!” — rarely gets us “all”. It usually gets us “nothing”. Are you waiting for the “perfect time” to get started on new projects? To learn a new skill? To eat better? To exercise more? If so, some of these phrases may be familiar to you:
Human beings are always “waiting for the perfect time”. But why? For many, it’s a great distraction and justification. It helps us avoid the real—and risky—work of doing.

Friends and Family Get Started Challenge
At the end of February I launched our Spring Friends and Family Get Started in CrossFit Challenge. The challenge has three steps:
1. Complete the online CrossFit Getting Started course by March 31 = FREE 
Sometimes getting our friends and family to do what we want them to do can be its own special challenge. I'm sharing an excellent post from CrossFit Invictus on how to get someone close to you interested in the gym. Their advice is sound as they had 86 people show up to the gym for their most recent friends and family challenge! I would be happy with just an eighth of that number! Let's see if we can make that happen! Check out the above post and let's fill the gym this spring with your fiends and family!
