If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll start Monday,” or “I’ll wait until the New Year,” I’ve got some tough love for you—you don’t need a special date on the calendar to begin prioritizing your health and wellness. The perfect time to start is always now. Waiting only delays your progress and keeps you stuck in the same patterns that are holding you back. Let’s dive into why starting today is the best gift you can give yourself, and how support groups and an accountability coach like me, Coach Paris, can guide you every step of the way.
1. There’s No Magical “Right Time”
Life doesn’t pause for the perfect moment to start something new. If you’re waiting for less stress, more time, or a burst of motivation, you may be waiting forever. The truth is, taking action creates momentum—not the other way around.
Every day you wait is a day you miss out on progress. Imagine how much healthier, stronger, or more confident you could feel 30 days from now if you started today.
Small steps compound over time. Even if all you do is drink an extra glass of water or go for a 10-minute walk, those small habits add up.
2. Procrastination Fuels Anxiety
Waiting to start often creates a mental loop of guilt, stress, and self-doubt. You keep thinking, “I should be doing something,” and that thought weighs you down. Starting anything breaks that cycle.
Action beats perfection. You don’t need the perfect plan; you just need to take the first step.
You’ll feel empowered. Each small win boosts your confidence and makes it easier to keep going.
3. Every Day Counts
Time is your most valuable resource. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll see results.
Your body doesn’t wait. Each day, your health is affected by what you eat, how much you move, and how well you care for yourself. The sooner you prioritize these habits, the better you’ll feel—inside and out.
Seasons and holidays aren’t excuses. There’s always a reason to delay—Thanksgiving, Christmas, your birthday. But learning to navigate these moments now sets you up for long-term success.
4. Support Groups: The Power of Community
Starting alone can feel overwhelming, which is why being part of a support group is a game-changer.
Accountability breeds success. Knowing you’ll check in with others keeps you motivated to stick to your goals.
Shared experiences create momentum. In a support group, you’re surrounded by people facing similar challenges. Their wins inspire you, and you inspire them.
Practical tips and encouragement. You’ll learn strategies to handle setbacks, stay consistent, and celebrate progress—big or small.
Always On Your Side Coaching offers virtual support groups for only $40 per month, designed to meet you where you are and help you build sustainable habits.

6. What Happens When You Start Now?
Starting today doesn’t mean you need to overhaul your entire life. It means committing to a single step:
Clean out your pantry and prep some healthy meals.
Take a walk after dinner.
Sign up for a support group.
Schedule your first session with an accountability coach.
By the end of the day, you’ll feel proud of yourself for taking that first step. And tomorrow, you’ll be one step closer to your goal.
